Unless you were doing what I do and sucking the remaining bits of fruit off the pit? <br />I've never swallowed one, but I'm sure you'll be fine. The pit will pass in time and while they may be poisonous I don't imagine one alone will make you ill. It's like apple seeds, which contain cyanide, but you'd have to eat a bucketfull (or at least a lot) before you got sick from them. <br />I say go ahead and keep eating nectarines, just don't suck on the pits anymore.

They are CLUELESS about what plants are poisonous. 911 will refer you to poison control. Good thing is, they will patch you through.Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-650672485459159722014-04-30T07:58:38.734-05:002014-04-30T07:58:38.734-05:00It's in my system somewhere.
