Improperly prepared balls can poison you......

blowfish when they come from a blowfish!

In Japan, 7 people were rushed to hospital suffering from various things including limb paralysis and breathing trouble.

Fugu (blowfish to you and me!) can only legally be prepared in Japan by chefs that hold a valid license for the said purpose!

It is 100 times more poisonous than potassium cyanide - yet is popular with thrill-seeking gourmets (death is a thrill now?!?!?!).

Still..... it takes all sorts huh?!?!?
