Yes, the potato vine, specifically the leaves and stems of the plant, is considered toxic. It contains solanine, a glycoalkaloid that can cause symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and even more severe health issues if ingested in large quantities. However, the tubers (the actual potatoes) are safe to eat when cooked properly. It’s important to avoid consuming the green parts of the plant.

Are potatoes bugs poisonous?

Yes, this is because the potato plant itself is poisonous. The only non-poisonous part of the potato plant is the starch inside the tuber. You are not even suppose to eat the potato peel. And under non-circumstance are you to eat of the potato fruit. Because the potato bug can eat the potato plant it inherits its poisons. Keep in mind though that "poisonous" does not mean "venomous". The potato bug may be poisonous to eat, but it is not venomous, meaning it cannot bite you and inject venom into your body. The only way you could ever be harmed by a potato bug is if you ate enough of them to become sick from their protective poison.
