They're probably not poisonous, but may have red rot, a form of fungus. If they smell slightly of formaldehyde, it is red rot. If you harvested your own, the crop is a loss. If you purchased them from a farm market, dispose of them (do not compost them) and perhaps let the vendor know. If you purchased them from a store, return them.

Eating them may not harm you, but will not likely taste very pleasant.
