A member asked:
Could i catch something from smelling a bad potato? my nose was burning after. no mold that i could see. just kinda brown, but red potatoes.

Not really: You may have a reaction to the smell such as nausea or allergic type symptoms such as a runny nose. It is highly unlikely that you would catch any type of infection or mold just from smelling a rotten vegetable.
