Raw Potatoes are pretty safe to eat however Raw Potatoes do contain A high concentration of alkaloids, which are broken down during the cooking process.

Other than that Raw Potatoes are not going to harm your health or give you worms.

There's no way for the Raw Potato to give you worms but they can contain bacteria that is killed off when cooked.

When I was a kid I used to eat Raw Potatoes all the time and I'm still alive and healthy and never gotten sick from them.

Raw Potatoes are very safe to eat and no you cannot get worms from eating Raw Potatoes.
