Sprouted potatoes should not be eaten. Sprouted potatoes contain a toxin called lobelia toxin, which can cause food poisoning in humans, and this toxin is not easily broken down at high temperatures, so even if it is heated, it will not reduce its harm. A small amount of intake of lobelia toxin may not show symptoms, but when the intake of more than a certain dose, a variety of uncomfortable symptoms will appear. The first manifestation is itching of the skin and mucous membranes, including discomfort on the skin all over the body, in the mouth and throat. At the same time there will be digestive symptoms, manifested as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea. If the amount of food intake is further increased, it may also lead to dehydration symptoms, and a small number of people may die due to respiratory muscle paralysis. So it is best not to eat sprouted potatoes.
