SUMMARY
-Fugu fish contains deadly amounts of tetrodotoxin, a chemical 100 times more poisonous than cyanide. Some people manage to survive if they are treated immediately. In other cases, those who have consumed the toxin usually die within several hours of eating this exotic meal.
-The fins of this prickly fish carry venom. Luckily, scientists have already developed the antidote to this poison, so even if you meet the fish in the wild, you don't have to fear for your life.
-Carambola has a neurotoxin capable of causing neurological disorders and hallucinations. If after eating this fruit, you notice any mental confusion, seizures, or hiccups, call for help immediately.
-If prepared improperly, the poisonous black ants can get into the delicacy, which can be dangerous to human health.
-If cassava is prepared incorrectly, toxic substances like linamarin are not removed. When these substances get inside a person's body, they may release cyanide, which will lead to cyanide poisoning.
-For a number of years, “rotten cheese” was illegal to produce and sell. First, the larvae can jump out and hit you in the eye. Second, you can get gastrointestinal problems if you accidentally eat a fly.
-An unripe or overripe ackee fruit contains a poison. If improperly eaten, ackee can cause what has been dubbed the Jamaican Vomiting Sickness.
-Century eggs have a translucent, jelly-like texture with a strong stench of ammonia. You'll need a strong stomach to handle this one.
-Stonefish is the most poisonous fish known to man. Just touching this “monster” can cause lethal damage to humans.
-Rambutan can cause allergies and diarrhea in people who haven't eaten it before. That's why local residents recommend consuming no more than 4–5 fruits at a time.
