I was about 20 when I learned about solanine... Randomly stumbled upon it, was looking for something else I think. And everybody I tell it to as a joke or "fun fact" (that drinking water or potatoes can be deadly) doesn't know either. Since it's seemingly "secret, deep knowledge", this stuff will happen. You can't take precautions if you don't know the danger.

There are higher levels of solanine in the green parts and sprouts of potatoes. If the potato is fully green, throw it away. However, you're probably fine, as long as you cut off any small green parts AND skin the potatoes (as well as removing any eyes), then cook them. It's a lot of waste, to throw out all potatoes with any green on them.

Most of the info in this video is wrong. Solanine is in potatoes, not nightshade. Atropine is in nightshade. And it's not rotten potatoes that are poisonous, it's green potatoes that have sprouted. Also, don't eat the leaves of potatoes or tomatoes because they're poisonous too. While we're at it, don't eat raw beans, especially kidney beans. Legumes have a different kind of poison, but it's much more potent

That is to say a place where you may have mere seconds of useful consciousness if you enter, thus why you should also never try to search for someone that becomes unresponsive after entering one yourself. Well that is unless you have your own SCBA (Self contained breathing apparatus) and are trained to use it safely in a hazardous environment because you are not helping anybody when you promptly become a second casualty. Call for an ambulance and the fire and rescue service immediately because if the person has succumbed to hypoxia or toxic gas as this is the persons only chance of survival if it is not too late already. The simple fact is that toxic gasses and hypoxia act so quickly there is no way you will be able to drag them back out of there before succumbing yourself anyway, in most cases environments like these can render a person fully unconscious within a minute and sap you of almost all of your strength and ability to think clearly in as little as 10-15 seconds. Worse still "ideal" conditions would mean sitting in a relaxed state not exerting yourself in any way or being under any sort of stress neither of which would be the case if you were trying to rescue someone. Humans are after all rather heavy especially as a dead weight and any rescue situation is naturally stressful obviously the latter can be minimised with intensive training, preparation, and prior experience. But lets face it for any normal person without that training trying to rescue someone they know personally your heart and respiration rate will be maxing out before you even try to physically move the person.

One of the men died while in the tank and his mate died an hour later when he went to call him for a tea break and tried to get him out. Any gas that is heavier than air will occupy the lower levels and displace O2........never use a C)2 fire extinguisher in a confined place. At the same time, a doctor was almost suffocated in his car when he carried a bag of dry ice (frozen CO2) on the back seat to keep some frozen food cold.......as the dry ice melted it gassed and he almost died.

Almost ditto... I was thinking of grain silo poisonings, involving nitrogen dioxide and/or oxygen depletion. I'm kind of wondering how reliable the information here is. What's the vapor pressure of solanine at root-cellar temperature, anyway? Is this really a case of silo-gas poisoning, but somewhere in a game of international/multilingual telephone someone interpolated "old potatoes were involved, therefore solanine"? Also, rotten/moldy potatoes and sprouty potatoes are both likely to be dangerous, but not in the same way... or at least I'd expect the toxins to be different.

Green discolouration in potatoes is down to exposure to light, potatoes once harvested last a long time when the dirt is left on them,wash them and they rot very fast. A great way to stop this happening is 'don't wash potatoes before storage ' pretty simple. I'm a simple country man and even I know this. Same goes for eggs, wash them, keep them in the refrigerator and they last a week or two, don't wash them, leave them on a shelf and they'll last for months.

Take caution with blue moon potatoes (it's a rare type that grows well in tundra clay but doesn't grow at all in most other soils and soil climates); those potatoes are dense in nutrients but will never show signs of rot and do not grow sprouts externally. Those potatoes, when decaying, produce cyanide. We all know the perils of cyanide.

The oven of a stove is also a bad place to store potatoes, there’s no way to let out the condensation automatically so if you leave it closed with potatoes in it for storage and forget that you bought them, especially since I forgot to take them out of the plastic bag. they started to smell horrible, they still looked okay but we threw them out anyways because of the smell and had to turn on the oven automatic cleaning function twice to get rid of the smell. Mom said that the basement of the farmhouse we lived when I was a baby used to smell like that and she was thought that something had died down there but now she knows that it must have been old potatoes in the farmhouse basement that caused the smell it is a really bad pervasive odour a

@@mikatu I put them in there because potatoes are supposed to be stored in a cool dark place that isn’t too cold or hot and I thought the oven would fit the right criteria, but unfortunately it just didn’t have enough airflow and I also can never remember what I’ve put in it because I can’t see in through the door while it’s closed, and we didn’t use the big oven anymore because since we got a small countertop toaster oven and we use that one all the time so the big oven was just sitting there as empty space.

We used to keep bushel baskets of potatoes in our root cellar when I was a kid. Once every week my Mom and I would go down there and "turn" them. We would just take an empty basket and sort through each bushel of potatoes moving each lot to a new basket looking for any rotten ones to throw out. Same with our squash, carrots, onions, and apples.

There's another case where people in a small town in France in the 1950s abruptly began hallucinating and acting like they were insane. It took months at least to figure out they had eaten bread made from wheat that had been infected by the ergot fungus, which caused these symptoms. Not everyone recovered. But it was very scary when this suddenly began happening to more and more residents with no apparent explanation. Who got sick depended on which bakery in the town the poisonous bread had come from, which made the effects seem so random.

I am from poor region of Belarus, so in my youth we ate potato quite often. And the common recipe for cooking potato was "fried-boiled potato". One should boil unpeeled potato, then get it cold, peel it, cut and fry. This dish has quite strange bitter taste because of solanine and bitter aftertaste, but I never heard of anybody who died or even feel sick from eating it. People boil unpeeled potato if it's too small to peel it with knife. Also in villages people stored potato under the house's floor and it started to grow out in spring, but again I've never heard of anybody who died because of it.

@@JamesSmith-ix5jd I think you could be correct. CO2 tastless, heavy, fast acting. Or they may have brought some fish back on dry ice. By the time they investigate it's all gone. More than trace solanin should not be in the air. Most likely, as you say, a heater. Found this on the internet: "Solanine is one of the major potato glycoalkaloids, protective compounds that deter animals from feeding on potato foliage. Glycoalkaloids are toxic to mammals, including humans, but they are not normally found in a high enough concentration in tubers to be dangerous. I found the claim of solanine gas very suspicious because glycoalkaloids have high melting points. The melting point for solanine is 520 degrees F (271 C). It is not just going to turn into a cloud of gas in your root cellar. There is a simpler explanation for what happened in this case. One of the major breakdown products from rotting potatoes and any other rotting vegetable is carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is heavier than oxygen and will displace it when there is no air movement. A root cellar, a space closed off below ground with limited air exchange, is the ideal place for carbon dioxide to pool. The family in this story was likely asphyxiated due to lack of oxygen, not poisoned by toxic gasses."

There's one big problem with this video. Solanine has too low of a vapor pressure to actually become gaseous at high enough concentrations to affect people. The vapor pressure of solanine is ten to the MINUS 34 mmHg at 25˚C (and the root cellar was probably colder, giving an even lower vapor pressure). With an ambient air pressure of 760 mmHg, this means that you would have to go through 760/(1 x 10^-34) molecules of air to find one molecule of solanine. A mole of air, 6 x 10^23 molecules, takes up about 24.5 liters at 25˚ C, which is more than a cubic foot. So you would have to go through more than 7 x 10^13 cubic feet of air to find a single molecule of solanine! You ingest more solanine with a perfectly good, fresh cooked potato! I also doubt that solanine acts quickly enough to prevent people from escaping a root cellar. More likely, the atmosphere probably contained high concentrations of carbon dioxide from rotting produce which asphyxiated the people.

From where i'm from underground cellars had ventilation. Potatoes and such were kept as close from the entrance as possible and the entrance was from outside not form within the house. Not to mention that grooming potatoes was a chore that needed to be done constantly, reason for why keeping them in a slightly colder and ventilated environment is better because they stay longer without needing attention. Yet i still remember news about people dying in similar situations, specially when the time for making wine was coming, because in the process it takes a lot of o2 and makes co2. So knowledge about it is very important, ventilation is key every time.

I was always skeptical of this claim since the relative who told me was the sibling who was either not yet born or very young when this happened. I assumed she misinterpreted the story or that the young child died of some other ubiquitous illness and the family blamed it on something she ate. Now the story makes sense! Poor little child!

We've grown, harvested, and stored potatoes on my family farm all my life and I've never seen this despite how often they rot in the spring. Guess I should be more proactive about disposing of old potatoes. Though even those still grow new potatoes on the compost heap

I'm a wee bit baffled that after the first two never returned, they didn't think to call emergency services instead of going to see what was going on.. what if there was a killer hiding there that was silently taking them down? Poor kid..

I read a storybook about people getting sick because of soup. The trace was found to be potatoes. Since then I've always known that potatoes are dangerous if stored improperly.

Cellar stuff as well as stove stuff are common knowledge where i'm from. Yet stuff like this still happens. When you're on autopilot doing stuff you can get in to trouble without realizing. The easiest way to fail is when you know how to do something that you don't pay attention to it anymore. It just slips your mind, something so basic and you can't understand how the heck you le that slipped by you. Pretty much happens on all levels, from cutting your finger chopping some onions or something to stuff like this from the video.

When I hear this is about potato, I knew this is going to be an _a-peeling_ video to watch xD That's really terrible for the girl. Glad to know she has relatives to live with. Store potatoes in dark places and no sunlight, if they're green, throw them away immediately. Got it!

Exactly. You can’t help someone if you become a victim yourself. Often times in all types of incidents but mostly those including drownings and incidents in confined spaces caused by toxic gases or oxygen deficiency would be rescuers often family members or coworkers rush into the scene in a attempt to rescue the person but because they didn’t have any proper training or equipment they themselves became secondary victims either by drowning or by being overcome by toxic gases or a lack of oxygen.

The one case with the school kids in London all recovering with subsequent hallucinations would be ergot poisoning rather than solanine poisoning. They basically had raw unprocessed LSD. If the potatoes rot you risk ergot poisoning, if they turn green from photosynthesis you risk solanine exposure.

Ergot prefers wheat seeds/ flour to grow on. There's a case in 1900s France where an entire village got poisoned by spoilt flour and freaked out badly.

Well, there's one possible explanation why my granny, who came from Glasgow, was always a bit twitchy about spuds that had turned green. My dad on the other hand, a soldier in the Royal Scots Fusiliers, in Edinburgh, would simply cut away the green bits before they were cooked! Granny was born in the 1890s, and dad in 1926.

Thank God for the ending. I sometimes use potatoes after they 'sprout' and they get spongy. This video had me highly concerned. But I would never eat one that's green.

I accidently found out I am FATALLY allergic to eggplant...I thought it was RIDICULOUS... On my THIRD visit to the ER...the ONLY common denominator was eggplant... THAT IS EXACTLY what the doctor told me...GET TESTED ..STOP EATING EGGPLANT... OR NEXT TIME I MAY SIGN YOUR DEATH CERTIFICATE.."CAUSE OF DEATH ...EGGPLANT" I DID get tested...he was right I can't even be where eggplant is being cooked...
