☠️ Six High-Risk Foods and Their Deadly Causes
1. Pufferfish ( Fugu )
· High-end Japanese cuisine requires a licensed chef .
· It contains tetrodotoxin , which is 1,200 times more toxic than cyanide .
· Toxins accumulate in the ovaries, intestines, and liver.
· A single dose the size of a needle can kill 30 people → mishandling can be fatal.
2. Death Cap Mushroom
· The world's deadliest poisonous mushroom, accounting for 90% of mushroom poisoning deaths.
· The toxin alpha-amanitin damages the liver and kidneys → jaundice, convulsions, coma, and death.
· Poisoning occurs in three stages: incubation period → gastrointestinal symptoms → false recovery → organ failure.
· Detoxification method: NAC (co-glutathione) + milk thistle seed extract
3. Korean live octopus ( Sannakji )
· The live octopus was still wriggling when it was brought to the stage.
· The suction cup still has suction power → it can stick to the throat or mouth → suffocation and death.
· Every year, diners die from choking on suction cups.
4. Green Potatoes
· Sprouting or turning green → Contains solanine toxin .
· Colorless and heat-resistant → cooking does not destroy its toxicity.
· Lethal dose for adults: 200–400 mg ; lethal dose for children: 20–40 mg
5. Raw Commercial Chicken
· It is likely to contain Salmonella and Campylobacter .
· It can cause severe diarrhea, dehydration, and sepsis.
· Approximately 450 people die from salmonella poisoning each year.
· Antibiotic-fed chickens pose higher risks → It is recommended to choose antibiotic-free, clean- source chickens .
6. Seeds and roots containing cyanide
· Includes: apple seeds, peach pits, pear seeds, almonds, and cassava .
· Chronic intake → Cyanide accumulation → Damage to mitochondrial function
· Symptoms: Decreased vision, hearing loss, muscle weakness
· Detoxification method: Methylene Blue → removes escaped electrons from mitochondria and restores oxygen utilization .
