Wikipedia has Capsicum annuum and Capsicum frutescens as having edible leaves.

Well, I went inside and I started to feel strange. I got dizzy, and my face felt hot and prickly. I called the doctor and they told me to wait and see if it got worse. Luckily it didn't, and within a few hours I went back to normal. I'm sure it was because of that pepper leaf.

My pets smell and hear better then I do so I take note when their senses detect something.

You might get better answers to how to prepare the leaves if you post the same question on Asian Vegetables sub section of this forum.

Umm, no. Not all Solanum species have poisonous leaves. Some are grown primarily for their leaves, especially in Africa.

Even the American nightshade has edible foliage...sometimes. It is also reported as having toxic leaves sometimes. Some authorities speculate that this has to do with cultivation conditions. Other think the leaves are non-toxic, and that reports of toxicity come from Solanum nigrum species, which are easily confused with Solanum americanum.

Pepper leaves were a staple in Precolumbian Aztec cuisine. They were both cooked as a spinach, and also used raw (usually chopped like parsley). See Sophie Coe's wonderful book "America's First Cuisines."

Incidentally, the Handbook of Poisonous and Injurious Plants lists peppers, except bell peppers, as "injurious"--but just the fruits and seeds. It turns out they are hot. Who knew?

This book delights in listing all the toxic parts of every plant, but it says nothing about any toxic principles in peppers, apart from the "injurious" fruit.

**DISCLAIMER**
Unless you are trapped out in the wilderness unexpected, do not do this. You have the advantaged of 10,000 years of human experience, find out what a plant is and look it up before you decide to freaking eat it. The below is for when you are trapped with no way to look up or ask what a plant is.
**END DISCLAIMER**

Identifying a plant as safe to eat requires several days, as each step requires multiple hours if not a full day before it is safe to proceed to the next one. The basic idea is to slowly expose yourself to very small amounts and watch for reactions.

Step 1) Apply to Skin
Mash the plant part you are wanting to know about up, then rub it on your skin in a non-vital area, like the back of your arm. Wait several hours and watch for any signs of rash or reaction. If you see one, its poisonous, leave that plant alone.

Step 2) Small Taste
Essentially break open the part you want to eat and lick it. Don't chew, don't swallow, just lick it and wait several hours. Observe your reaction. Any swelling, heart racing, light headedness, or other general "I shouldn't feel like this" feeling, don't touch the plant anymore, its poisonous.

Step 3) Chew Some
Same as above, but chew a small portion up, then spit it out. Wait several hours, watch for symptoms as above. Again, if anything happens, its poisonous.

Step 4) Eat a tiny amount
I don't mean a handful, I mean like one leaf, half a berry, etc. Swallow it. Wait at least 12-24 hours. If you get an upset stomach, nausea, or any of the normal food poisoning symptoms you would expect after eating 3 day old room temperature Taco Bell, leave it alone, its poisonous.

Step 5) Eat it carefully
At this point, if you've done all of this (usually requires at least 2 days to get to this point) and have had nothing happen to you, you can be sure it isn't immediately toxic. Try eating a small amount, like a small handful of berries, a handful of leaves, etc. Again, wait 12-24 hours and watch for symptoms. If any show up, leave it alone, its poisonous.

Step 6) Should be okay
Assuming you haven't starved to death by this point, your mystery plant should at least not kill you if you eat it. Not saying it will be worth eating or that you would get any nutrients out of it, but it most likely won't kill you.

Step 7) Stop eating it as soon as possible
Some poisons can be fine in small doses and gradually build up until they kill you. You are fairly sure what you've got isn't lethal, but first chance you have, look it up and be 100% sure. Usually this means when you're rescued from the woods, don't go back out there just to keep harvesting mushrooms and berries, just eat whats in the grocery store.

Eggplant leaves are reported as "edible but not flavorful." I can easily believe that. In fact, they are one of the leat appetizing leaves in the garden.

I have wondered why deer can get away with munching them down to the ground though. Now I know, THEY'RE NOT POISONOUS.
