Actually I'm pretty sure those can poison you if you don't grab them at the right time

Yes, and also it can be poisonous later down the line after harvested

The berries of potatoes are poisonous, just the tubers aren't unless exposed to sunlight.

The tubers will give you a fever if eaten raw.

When a whole family dies because of bad air in a cellar, isn't it usually potatoes that caused it?
