Is it true that is you eat potatoes raw, you'll get worms?!
Answers: I was answering another question about food sayings, and remember being told that as a child. Is it true or was it a way to stop me from eating the peeled potatoes before dinner.
That was just a good way for Mom to keep you out of the peeled potatoes..... lol
Your Mother sure had you.
Well I ate raw potatoes as a child and still do to this day and never had worms.
No I believe that IS nonsense..
There might be a case or a condition where the UNcooked starch might cause the runs ... BUT I know I've eaten them..
You would only get worms if the potato had worms in it. Your Mom was just being overprotective.
Go with the belief that. There Is no such thing as, Getting worms from eating raw Potato's.
Raw potatoes are pretty indigestible and have little nutritional value, Cook those Spuds!
I don't think the raw potatoes will give you worms. Though if you ate them with dirt on the ouside you may get worms from the dirt.
no, silly you!
