How Potato became a biological trap: A routine kitchen shortcut involving foil-wrapped baked potatoes led to paralysis. This common practice can incubate dangerous botulism-causing bacteria overnight. Reheating leftovers in a microwave does not neutralize the potent botulinum toxin. Nerve damage from this poisoning requires extensive and uncertain recovery periods. Prompt refrigeration of potatoes after baking prevents this severe medical emergency.
