Where did Piss Poor come from?

[Juli-terp-to-be]

Could you provide a source to prove that claim?

I am allergic to Atropine, and I have had reactions to uncooked tomatoes. When I was in the ER the doctor told me not to eat anymore uncooked tomatoes, he said that the seeds contain a small amount of the tropane alkaloids. Tomatoes sauce, salsa and canned tomatoes I do not have a reaction to.

Quoted from Wikipedia:
The family is also informally known as the nightshade- or potato family. The family includes Datura (Jimson weed), Mandragora (mandrake), belladonna (deadly nightshade), Capsicum (paprika, chili pepper), Solanum (potato, tomato, aubergine or eggplant), Nicotiana (tobacco), and Petunia (petunia). With the exception of tobacco (Nicotianoideae) and petunia (Petunioideae) most of the economically-important genera are contained in the sub-family Solanoideae.
