I had some pine needle tea a few days ago. After a gulp I noticed an odd feeling in my throat, really hard to describe but it felt like a general tightness. So I thought either i'm allergic to it, or maybe it has some weird properties like mild anesthesia. Today I found a field of wild mustard and started munching on some. After about 5-10 minutes I had the same feeling. What the hell? Am I just not used to wild foods or what?? I ate the little pine buds and had no effect, other than feeling like I ate a Christmas tree.
