During the Irish Potato Famine, people first noticed something was wrong when potato plants began to wilt and blacken, indicating disease. When harvested, the potatoes were often found to be rotten, discolored, or had a foul smell, signaling widespread blight. Reports of failed crops and food shortages quickly spread, leading to panic and desperation among the population reliant on this staple food. The shocking realization that the primary food source was compromised contributed to the severity of the famine.
