Well, IIRC there were stages to trying new things, kinda like:
Test 1: rub plant on forearm, see if it has a reaction.
Test 2: eat small piece of plant/thing to see reaction
Test 3: eat progressively larger pieces and rinse and repeat
I feel like dogs and kids are best described as ultra voluntary test subjects, they will try their damndest to eat the thing and you can certainly try your best to stop it.

This is probably only in survival situations
knowing how cruel humans can be, need to add:
Dogs and kids are also suitable test objects.
