Baked potato is not a potential botulism source. This situation also is extremely low risk for food poisoning of any kind.

No, botulism is not likely, indigestion remains possible if the potatoes were not properly cooked. Your panic reaction speaks for health related anxiety disorder and you should discuss it with your doc at your regular visits.
