It’s a true story. There seems to be less blight in a greenhouse, but Thant might be from cleaning it regularly.
I don’t think it will harm you at all. But disclaimer I’m not qualified to make that claim.

I lost all 16 tomato plants last year to blight, have planted 8 plants in same spot this year and I am now totally drowning in them . Picture of 3 large carrier bags full I picked today here (if it uploads successfully).
Think it is driven by what variety you plant rather than where they are planted, and also the prevailing conditions of course, this year I planted Blush, Crush, Cherry, Plum and Marmande. -
Anyway to the original question ‘are they safe to eat’, I don’t think they would be harmful and can’t find any evidence that the fungus has any toxicity in humans , but they might just taste bad I guess. I have some of my Marmande fruits with this yellow tinge at the top which I think is caused by infection, but I’ll probably just throw them all in some ketchup and not worry about it. When I see it in the small cherry ones like on the one pictures I just bin them. Also Monty Don says it’s fine to eat fruit from infected plants as long as the fruit don’t look like they are infected.

I've lost all 7 tomato plants to blight. But a few of the fruits look ok, are they safe to eat?
Any tips, I have heard I shouldn't replant tomatoes in the same place for 4 years?
