AIBU - Pear Drama!

[Pandoraalora]

Long time lurker but first time poster! My DD has just eaten a bottom of a pear including the core and the seeds, please tell me I'm being silly for being worried

I sometimes eat the core, just because it's so weird. But never the seeds or the stem. And never a pear, only apples.
Actually, I have nothing useful to contribute.

DD does this and is fine.

You should have ensured it was cutted up.

Beat me to it Betty!

Don't worry, my toddler DS has done this many times and just happily presented me with the stalk. No ill effects whatsoever.

Hahaha dead good
It's fine there is nothing to worry about

I thought Apple pips contain cyanide but you have to eat quite a few before you're poisoned. Not sure about pear seeds but I wouldn't advise her eating them on a daily basis.

Thank you so much for the helpful comments I googled and saw about apple seed poisoning so I freaked out a bit! Will not be happening again

I'm glad she's ok. At least you know she loves fruit.

DD will be fine

As long as there were no mutant zombie mice in it, she'll be fine...

My uncle eats a (conference) pear every day (and has done for ever) and the only bit that's ever left is the stalk. He's 85 next year...

The only part of a pear I ever leave is the stalk. There's hardly any pips in them anyway.

My mum eats every single bit of a pear and an apple

Also according to Dr Google you'd have to finely chew at least 200 apple seeds, or eat 20 apple cores to receive a fatal dose of cyanide.

AFAIK pears are fully edible. My son has even eaten the stalk.
It's fine.

I eat all of apples and pears sometimes even the stalk . Never done me any harm (but I must have a whole orchard in my stomach by now)

Ahhhhh BabyPearMice (it;s in Classics)

And the suppliers said "Oh thats a shame"

No help whatsoever from me , sadly.

My DH always eats the whole pear, core 'n' all. He's lived to the age of 36. Your DD will be fine.

My grandmother used to tell me that if you swallowed/ate the pips, an apple/pear tree would grow out of your ear. Keep an eye out for new shoots.

Oh. I have just realised this was a serious thread. I misread DD as DH and thought you were just a bit worried about your husband's sanity
Sorry, I was even less helpful than I realised
