Is eating olive leaves bad for you?

So since March 24, I've been eating olive leaves once in a while. I rather like the strong bitter taste of it. I have different taste preferences, as I'm in the minority that loves pure Italian liquorice. I've also eaten Surströmning and asked for another filet (it tasted like oversalted herring), although I had a bad stomach the same evening.

But do olive leaves hurt your digestive system or poison you or anything?

    I wouldn't eat too many, but a few will be fine or even good for you. There are certain health conditions which draw you to eating very bitter or salty foods. If you feel there's been a change in your health I'd speak with a doctor.
