A member asked:

Is it dangerous to eat a bitter cucumber(skin on)my green smoothie today was very bitter and believe that was the culprit. stomach hurts now. worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: It's not dangerous. If you mean an actual cucumber, it won't hurt you. If you mean bitter melon (looks like a warty cucumber), then the skin can cause a stomach ache but it's not poisonous.

Dr Fowler and another doctor agreed
