"Some are, yes. And there are some that work the other way around as well - something that's toxic to them would be perfectly harmless to humans. Which only raises more problems - without having someone who happens to be familiar with what to expect, reaction-wise there still wouldn't be any guarantee that any resultant data would be useful. And even then, it's still ignoring the ethical concerns."
The very legitimate ethical concerns, which are foremost among his reasons for not wanting to actually try it. It does, of course, rather leave them to make the most of the situation without anything like a tricorder, but to be fair, it does seem that there haven't been any fatalities thus far. Even if that's mostly been through luck and the fact that there are at least a few people present who can recognize toxic plants on sight.
And for all that it is odd to include Nerys in a general catch-all of 'human', he's no stranger to the fact that she does appear to be more human than would usually be the case. He's hardly about to address it, mind, but neither can he deny that it is still a factor.
(What it means, and why the Observers have decided to make that particular alteration is another matter entirely, to say nothing of the hows of same.)
"If you're offering. And wine will be more than alright."
And while he'd be more than glad to explain the finer details of wine and winemaking, if she'd like, he's just as willing to continue on with the topic they've already been discussing.
