Why can t you eat potatoes with sprouts?

Potato sprouting produces a toxin called solanine, also known as solanine. The potatoes contain only 10 mg of solanine per 100 grams, while the solanine in green, sprouted, and rotten potatoes can increase by 50 times or more. Eating a very small amount of solanine may not be obvious to the human body, but if you eat 200 mg of solanine at a time (about half a tael of potatoes that have turned green and sprouted), you can get sick after 15 minutes to 3 hours.

The first symptoms are itching in the mouth and throat, pain in the upper abdomen, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms.

If you eat 300 400 mg or more solanine, the symptoms will be severe, manifested as increased body temperature and repeated vomiting resulting in dehydration, as well as dilated pupils, photophobia, tinnitus, convulsions, dyspnea, blood pressure drop, and very few people can die due to respiratory paralysis. Therefore, patients with severe symptoms should be sent to the hospital as soon as possible**.
