Is tomato leaf poisonous?

Yes, they are toxic because they do contain toxic alkaloids, including tomatine and solanine. But they’re not toxic enough to poison you unless you consume them in very large quantities. (An adult would have to consume about 1 pound/450 g of tomato leaves to become sick.)
