1. Solanine is contained in potato, and the toxic component is solanine, also known as potato toxin, but too low content will not cause poisoning. However, after potato germinates, the content of solanine in bud and bud eye can be as high as 0.3%-0.5%. Normal people can cause acute sprouting potato poisoning by eating 0.2-0.4 grams of solanine once.

2. Poisoning occurs 2-4 hours after eating germinated potatoes. The manifestations are as follows: first, there is itching or burning sensation in the throat, burning sensation or pain in the upper abdomen, and then there are symptoms of gastroenteritis such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea; Those who are deeply poisoned may suffer from dehydration, electrolyte disorder and blood pressure drop due to severe vomiting and diarrhea; In addition, it is often accompanied by dizziness, headache and mild disturbance of consciousness. In severe cases, coma, convulsions, and finally death due to heart failure and respiratory center paralysis.

3. The slightly germinated potatoes should be dug deep around the sprouting part and the bud eye, then soaked for more than half an hour, and the soaked water should be poured out before eating. Because solanine is easy to decompose when it meets vinegar, you can add some vinegar when cooking to accelerate the destruction of solanine and become non-toxic.
