HELP I just ate rotten potato! Food poisoning?

[loonylovegood]

I was eating my baked potato with other veges so it took me a while to notice but it tasted like moth balls. It was the most disgusting taste ever!

I'm having a panic attack now about food poisoning. I'm scared to go to sleep because I will probably wake up throwing up. I haven't been sick in 15 years... this can't be happening

Has anyone ever eaten anything rotten and avoided vomiting somehow?

Thanks

Your potato was baked through right? The baking process probably killed any bacteria that may have been lurking there. I think you may have just bitten into a black spot. It may taste bad, but I think it's probably harmless. I've eaten those before with no problems.
