Better safe than sorry, I guess. I recently tried foraging bamboo shoots, inspired by @samstonehill and @clareartista but the bamboo that I had foraged, tasted so extremely bitter, even after cooking it for an hour and 15 minutes and having rinsed it twice, then marinaded and fried it, that I decided to spit it out and throw away the rest of it. I prefer not to poison myself, if I can help it. No matter how appealing it is to me to eat (more) natural food.

I never tried fresh bamboo shots. Can they cause harm?
I don't know enough about it but I did find out that many types of bamboo are just so extremely bitter that they can't be considered edible. Also, researching it, a bit, and finding out about hydrogen cyanide in fresh bamboo didn't help me to feel better either. In all honesty, I don't really know whom or what to believe ( as the truth any longer, these days ) but here my body's communication was clear enough ( as it usually is ).
Definitely no need to force yourself to eat something you dont like or tolerate.
Exactly. I have tolerated stuff I don't like ( in my life ) for long enough a time ;<)
I am living a differently, healthier and happier life, these days.✨❤️
