The deadly blowfish

Blowfish (fugu), a delicacy in Japan and Hong Kong, contains deadly amounts of tetrodotoxin, a poison 500 times stronger than cyanide. Several diners die each year from blowfish consumption. And yet, people continue to eat it. If I'm going to die from eating something, I assure you it won 't be fish. Donuts, maybe, or bacon, but not fish.
