I don't have experience with this plant myself, although I certainly know of it -- a little. I looked into the rather extensively and at this time I can't find enough out to give you a good answer, quite possibly because this particular plant, while common, isn't really studied a lot. So first, call Poison Control -- 1-800-222-1222. They're by far the best source of info on this. Here's what I did find out. Various sources have various answers. Everyone pretty much agrees that the older leaves, roots and stems all are toxic. Even so, they're used as homeopathic medicine by a variety of folks. The active ingredient is Lectin -- this is an agglutinating agent, which means it causes blood clotting -- it's used in the lab for that. However, all the articles I read talk about ingestion, and the amount is never really discussed, but sounds like a lot more than you'd get from just biting into one. There is no specific treatment for this toxin, but that's not altogether a bad sign -- it also means that not a lot of fatal poisonings occur, else they'd look into it harder. First aid for this maintaining life functions -- breathing and such. Also, get Poison Control's take on this. -- Even the hospital is likely to have to look this one up. If symptoms appear -- and you'll know them -- vomiting, diarrhea, pain, etc. -- call 911.

Where can you get acai berries?
You can buy acai berry at Farm Boy. To know when it's ripe: it should be a pinkish red, not green. To open: squeeze berry just a little bit and it should give out some juice, peel off skin and eat white part only.
When a child loses his or her front tooth should you see the adult tooth right away?
No. It will take a little bit.
In pearl where do you find the berry's that make your Pokemon friendlier?
You have to get an app called the berry finder ( i cant remember where to get it so just look that up on the internet). Then when you have got it go to it on your poketech and there will be a map. In some places there will be a small berry sign. If you got to where it is on the map and walk around a bit you should find them. Or the other option is to plant the berrries that make Pokemon friendlier yourself. Hope this helped.
