I just chewed on a couple of pine pitch globs today on my hike...8 hours ago..i still have residue in my mouth..i chewed too much but no stomach issues whatsoever I used it for teeth healthPine pitch isn't poisonous in respect as some other plant resins can be but it's consumption isn't recommended. Pine pitch is a wonderful material which can be used for many utilitarian things such as making glues, etc. but it also has strong medicinal qualities as an emetic (induces vomiting) & is given for such a desired effect. Although the needles can be chopped & SIMMERED for tea (an excellent source of Vit.C), boiling will leach out the resin producing a more bitter & strong turpentine taste. Consumption of a strong boiled tea or just a pea-sized piece of the pitch WILL give you a stomach ache in short order followed by vomiting. I'm speaking from experience here as one who not only has studied & applied primitive medicine for much of my life but who has also experienced it effects more than once. Don't try it unless you want everything to come back up. Hope this helps.
