What disease is caused by eating raw potato?
Eating raw potatoes is generally not recommended due to the presence of certain compounds that can be harmful when consumed in large quantities. The main concern is a group of naturally occurring toxic compounds called glycoalkaloids, with solanine being the most notable. Solanine is found in higher concentrations in the green parts of the potato, such as the skin and sprouts. When potatoes are exposed to light or stored improperly, they can develop green patches, indicating increased solanine levels. Consuming high levels of solanine can lead to solanine poisoning, which is characterized by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headaches, and in severe cases, confusion, and respiratory failure. It's important to note that cooking potatoes at high temperatures, such as boiling, baking, or frying, can significantly reduce the solanine content and make them safe to eat. However, it's advisable to avoid eating potatoes that are green or have sprouted. While solanine poisoning is a concern related to the consumption of raw or improperly prepared potatoes, it's not a specific disease but rather a toxic reaction to the glycoalkaloids in the potatoes. To minimize the risk of solanine poisoning, it's recommended to store potatoes in a cool, dark place, away from light, and to discard any potatoes with green patches or sprouts. If you suspect solanine poisoning or experience severe symptoms after consuming raw potatoes, seek medical attention promptly.

Can potatoes make you sick?
Potatoes are a member of the nightshade family and contain the toxin solanine. A healthy potato tuber which is white and firm is perfectly safe to eat. When exposed to sunlight, potatoes turn green under the skin. This is an indication that the levels of solanine have increased. Most health professionals recommend that potatoes which have turned green be thrown away although some reports say it is safe to eat if you remove the green bits as well as any eyes or sprouts as they also contain high levels of solanine. It has also been reported that if you do eat potatoes which have turned green, after removing the green bits, deep-fry the potatoes as the toxin leeches into the oil. Discard of waste-oil. Never eat any of the outer part of the plant as the stems and leaves contain very high levels of solanine. See answers to: Are potatoes poisonous? What is solanine?
