Those in the comments section believed the fruit to be the Jerusalem cherry, which according to MedlinePlus , contains the poisonous ingredient Solanocapsine. While the “poison is found throughout the Jerusalem cherry plant,” the poison is located “especially in the unripened fruit and leaves.” Among the symptoms are abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever, headache, and nausea and vomiting.

“You had us worried sis!” another commented.

“Girllllll I was stressing about you all night,” one fan penned, while another questioned why her update took “almost 24 hours.”
