If humans consume a partially rotten fruit, is it bad for their health?
If so, is it due to the bacterial content in such food or to some toxins in the rotten part?
Any published research in this regards?
Hi Mohamad-Hani Temsah
Partially rotten means putrefaction has already begun. Indicating the possible presence of microorganisms (though may be in low concentration). I would not risk taking in fruits with signs of being rotten.

partly rotten food is definitely harmful for human being, but some animal can digest it better give them ,before giving then ensure that it is partly very less rotten
Not always. Bananas, for example, even to the point of rotting can be sued to make banana bread since the bananas are the sweetest at this point
Surely I would not recommend anyone to eat a partially rotten fruit or vegetable, but in case it was eaten accidentally is there a real harm or is it only our preference to avoid such things?
Not sure I’d recommend it,but my dog had a particular fascination for partly rotten pears which fell from one of our trees.
The reason soon became clear....nice and mushy and mildly alcoholic,and a real job to get them out of his way each day.
an occasional added bonus also with wasps thrown in,which bull terriers will happily devour.....no joking....they enjoy wasps.
Not only rotton fruit even cut fruit openly stored for a long time also contain different pathogenic micro-organism commonly the cause of food poison ,
and other Gastro Intestinal disorders .
Dear Mohamad-Hani Temsah,
It is demonstrated that some molds cause allergic reactions and respiratory problems.
Please check this paper of USDA

Thanks @Evren Caglar Eroglu for your comment.
Please share the paper you mentioned with us.
If a fruit is rotten, bacteria or other microbes would be responsible for this. So it is good to eat fresh fruits, not to take partially rotten fruit
