Blowfish testicles poison 7 diners in Japan

Blowfish testicles prepared by an unauthorized chef sickened seven diners in northern Japan and three remained hospitalized Tuesday after eating the poisonous delicacy. Blowfish, while extremely poisonous if not prepared properly, is considered a delicacy in Japan and is consumed by thrill-seeking gourmets. Shortly after, they developed limb paralysis and breathing trouble and started to lose consciousness — typical signs of blowfish poisoning — and were rushed to a hospital for treatment.

First and foremost these guys are just idiots. It's not like jumping out of a airplane it's just eating something it doesn't get you high or buzzed if cooked right and eaten. It only causes problems if prepared wrong so whats the point? If steak cooked right got you high but cooked wrong could kill then it be worth the risk and the thrill but since it don't why take the chance if no go reward for the effort.
