Can you eat basil alone raw?

I have a basil plant growing like crazy. What started as my 3rd grader's school project as a seedling in a dixie cup, is now the envy of my basil loving friends. This is flourishing with new growth on a daily basis. I love eating it right off the plant. I trust this is ok. I've been doing it for a while and notice it actually helps relieve my stomach if I were to eat a bit too much. Anyway, any info on the negative effects of eating basil raw is appreciated. Thanks all.
