Poisonous Testicles
In Japan seven diners fell ill and three remained hospitalized because they ate blowfish testicles. Remember now blowfish is extremely poisonous and if not prepared properly you will die.
“It’s scary. If you go to a decent-looking restaurant that serves fugu, you would assume a cook has a proper fugu license,” Iwase said, using the Japanese term for blowfish. poison, called tetrodotoxin, is nearly 100 times more poisonous than potassium cyanide, according to the Ishikawa Health Service Association. It can cause death within an hour and a half after consumption.Three people died and 44 others were sickened by blowfish poisoning in 2007 — most of them after catching the fish and cooking it at home — according to the Health Ministry.
I am into the whole exotic food thing but knowing blowfish is poisonous and kills many people yearly who would you eat its balls!
