I read on another site that they were investigating a possibility that pesticides had been used in the herb garden. I can see the next family gathering, "uh, no Granny, that's ok, you don't need to cook, we'll have a pot luck where everybody else brings something for dinner!"

They got it from the herb garden alright. Looks like one of the little Jose's has been experimenting in growing "special herbs" without telling anybody.

She was tired of cooking for everyone.

Seriously though, I hope they are all right.

Perhaps they should get soup from the Soup Nazi next time. Best wishes to all those affected for a speedy and complete recovery.

I'll bet they'll think twice before they pick things out of the neighbor's yard again! Next time ask before you pick! Just because you see things, don't mean you can pick them! Indian Potatoe Stew makes me sick too.

It was probably nightshade. I wish the family a speedy recovery.

It turned out to be Jimsonweed - highly toxic and can be deadly.

This is probably an incident of mercury in the soup put there by the students in the kitchen.
