My daughter says she has black spots on her chili and aubergine

thanks...

As you've no responses thus far, I thought I might hazard a guess. Chillies
are capsicums (capsica?) and, as you have correctly guessed, aubergines
belong to the same family as the potato (solarnum

solanum

- commonly known as the
deadly nightshade family, which also includes the tomato). Therefore, unless
someone corrects me, I would assume that the blotches do not share a common
cause.

Except, of course, that capsicums are also in Solanaceae
