Blacktail Deer Plateau those who know

Fox furrowed her brow. “How do you know which ones are safe?” she asked, genuinely curious and even more skeptical of such things now. If some berries could kill, and others could help, how could anybody know what was safe to eat? Fox instinctually knew which animals to stay away from, because they set off obvious triggers, but considering she had never even been interested in eating berries, she had never found any of them to be edible. They were just there.

The only way she could think of to find out if some other plant was safe or not was to eat it and see if she died. If she didn't, she would eat it again. But that didn't seem terribly smart, leaving Fox to wonder if she was better off sticking to rabbits, deer, fish, and the like.
