I have given mine small pieces of raw potato, both Idao and sweet potato....did not hurt themn at all....but my grandmothers voice kept playing over and over in my head...."Judy Ann, stop eating those raw potato slices....you will get worms!" Now my grandmother and my mother both used to have a multitude of diseases and afflictions that were paramount in THEIR minds as disasterous...and they would throiw those out whenever one of us kids was doing something they did not want us to do..."Stay away from bird nests, you will get lice in your hair and we will have to shave all the hair off your head"...."Dont walk in mud puddles, you will get worms that hook onto the bottom of your feet and then eat into your skin until they get into your blood stream"...."Dont fool with wild cats....you will get eaten up with ring worm and we will have to shave all the hair off your head"...."For Lord's sake, get your mouth OFF the handle on that shopping cart....my God, you are going to get syphillus and every tooth in your head will fall out!!"...,,"Leave that dog alone, he looks like he has rabies and you will get rabies and start hiding under cars and foaming at the mouth".....so worms from raw potato was mild! But, I dont think a few bites of raw potato will hurt your baby! |
