Fed my beardie hornworms that ate tomato leaves

I didn't know that hornworms become toxic to beardies after feeding on tomato leaves and I fed some leaves to my feeder worms. I fed him several hornworms over the past week or so but it has been over a week since I fed the worms tomato leaves. I'm throwing the leftover worms away but what do I need to watch for in my beardie and is there anything I can do to counteract whatever damage I've done? I'm freaking out

They’re part of the night shade family, and its the alkaloids that make them poisonous, idk of anything to counter act, did the worms eat a lot of the tomato plant? Is your beardy acting strange at all? :( kinda a wait and see thing unfortunately…
