At first, I also thought it was a bit overly cautious to ban all berries - after all, children need to learn what is not good for them. But then I switched on my brain and my memory: I react mildly allergic to tomatoes. Really just a little - I only get a rash for a few days, nothing dramatic and not comparable to the reaction your daughter shows. Back then, my parents also had tomatoes in the garden and I knew that I was not really allowed to eat them. That was not a problem as long as my parents were in the garden and kept an eye on me. But when I was with the neighbor's kids unsupervised, everyone snacked on the tomatoes - me included, thanks to peer pressure.
Although I never ate bird cherries etc., I was also drilled that I was not allowed to eat them - but the other children did not eat them either, so I had no interest. And berries in particular are so nicely bright, easily reachable for children, and quickly disappear into the mouth. No, I would ban all of those far from the garden as well! As I said, if it was "only" a little rash, I would not worry so much, but with those symptoms, I am also against growing berries.

I can fully agree with ypg. For us, it is the small wild strawberries that once came from the neighbor. I love and cherish them - but with you, they can really become dangerous. Ours grow nicely in the shade under trees, so you should get down on all fours and check. All the best for your daughter - I hope she will outgrow it! I tolerate tomatoes better now; I can eat homegrown ones raw without any problem, store-bought ones mostly only cooked.

I would do the same. It’s just so much more relaxed with small children if you limit dangers a bit where you have influence. There are still plenty of places where you have no influence...
