Tonight we made spaghetti and we went outside in our garden to pick rosemary. However, after we put it in, we discovered that it wasn't rosemary at all! It was a different plant. At first, we were worried it was mezereon. But it wasn't because we checked the plant book and mezereon has big red berries. But we're worried that it might be another poisonous plant. Do any advice columnists know what it might be or whether it's poisonous? It looks a little like rosemary, only the spiky leaves are more spaced out and it has white flowers in the summer that are really small (they look like honeysuckle buds but the plant is not honeysuckle). It is a small bush and doesn't have berries.
Someone PLEASE HELP!!! We are worried we are gonna die

If it happens again; often, the poisonouns wones will be bitter - they aren't all like that though so be careful. Ground up charcoal helps absorb poisons. Get some charcoal capsules from the chemist if you want, or just grind some up from the fireplace, and make it into a drink. It doesn't takes good, it's a pretty bad drink really, but it's better than the poison.
