Any journey can be fraught with many danger<\/a>s. And we are talking not only about dangerous places<\/a>, their inhabitants and disea<\/a>ses. Sometimes even delicacies that are found on the tables in exotic countries<\/a> can be a danger to a person. It is about them that we will talk today.\"10<\/a><\/p>\n

Let's start our review with the Land of the Rising Sun, which is very popular among tour<\/a>ists. Walking<\/a> between the sights<\/a> with rapture, one way or another, every visit<\/a>or to Japan comes to mind to taste the best dishes of local cuisine. But you should be careful and careful, because among the abundance of Asian delicacies you can find one of the most dangerous toxins that is found on the plane<\/a>t. The poison with the difficult-to-pronounce name “tetrodotoxin” is found in the liver and internal organs of Fugu fish. Remember: there is no antidote for the toxin!<\/p>\n

But if you are not one of the “timid” and just crave to experience new emotions, eating appetizingly cooked fish fillets, then you should car<\/a>efully study the reputation of rest<\/a>aurants. If there were no deaths, you can safely order the desired product.<\/p>\n

By the way, in Japan<\/a> there are chefs who specialize in cooking dishes from poisonous fish and practice leaving a small portion of poison in its meat. Rumor has it that the toxin gives the meat a special taste and aroma. In this case, do not abus<\/a>e and order an additional portion of Fugu. At your choice, raw fish will be prepared, fried or boiled in a fragrant broth with spices.<\/p>\n

Fruit from Jamaica<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"10<\/a><\/p>\n

Although native to Jamaica, the Ackee is conside<\/a>red a fruit, it should be eaten with great care. The fact is that while the fruit is not ripe, it contains many dangerous substances, which often cause death. The first signs of poisoning are: constant vomiting, disruption of the liver and convulsions.<\/p>\n

With all this horror, you can still taste the “forbidden fruit”. Locals know that the fully ripe Ackee fruit is not only absolutely safe, but also useful. It contains protein and vitamins necessary for the body.<\/p>\n

“croaking” delicacy<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"10<\/a><\/p>\n

If you are travel<\/a>ing in Africa and craving new experiences, we advise you to visit Namibia. In addition to interesting<\/a> excursions<\/a>, picturesque landscapes and rich fauna, a unique<\/a> delicacy awaits you, which occupies an honorable third place in our rating in terms of its danger to the human body. We are talking about a special type of frogs – Bullfrog – that live in the local reservoirs. If the French prefer to feast exclusively on the paws of these vile creatures, then the Africans with appetite gobble up giant amphibians almost entirely.<\/p>\n

You can also taste the delicacy. But there are a few rules, non-compliance with which can lead to serious health problems. In part<\/a>icular, Bullfrog meat is safe for humans during its breeding seas<\/a>on. But the use of the meat of this animal in another period is fraught with kidney failure.<\/p>\n

A delicacy from Korea<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"10<\/a><\/p>\n

Now we have to get acquainted with a dish from Korean cuisine. San Nak Ji is actually a live octopus, from the body of which everything superfluous was removed and richly sea<\/a>soned with sesame oil. Although seafood does not contain toxins or poisons, this does not make it less dangerous for humans.<\/p>\n

The main danger lies in the octopus's tentacles, which still continue to move and function. Therefore, each piece should be chewed thoroughly so that the suction cups do not block your throat. Although the dish looks disgusting, it is quite popular among Koreans. And visitors decide on such a risky adventure for the sake of thrills.<\/p>\n

Are apricots poisonous?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"10<\/a><\/p>\n

No matter how surprising it may sound, apricots, which are familiar to every inhabitant of the CIS countries, can also contain toxins that are dangerous for the human body. The poison is contained in the seeds of these and many other fruits<\/a> and berries that grow everywhere: cherries, peaches, plums and others. But you should not be afraid, because in order for the human body to be harmed, you need to consume a large number of bones.<\/p>\n

Each grain contains a small amount of cyanide. Yes, yes, the very one that was often used by captured intelligence officers and officers during the Second World<\/a> War.<\/p>\n

Cassava<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"10<\/a><\/p>\n

Despite the fact that this exotic name hides a vegetable common in the vastness of Africa and South<\/a> America, it can be eaten with some reservations. The thing is that the leaves and see<\/a>ds of a tropical fruit boast a very impressive concentration<\/a> of the already mentioned cyanide. But the natives know this very well and skillfully squeeze the juice from an unusual vegetable, which is used to create the Piwarry drink.<\/p>\n

Hello from Italy<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"10<\/a><\/p>\n

A dessert called Kasu marzu looks like spoiled dough, a piece of cheese or a pie. Despite the fact that the dish is considered illegal in Italy<\/a>, it continues to be produced using a special technology. Cheese is taken from sheep's milk and after a long fermentation, fly larvae appear in it, which are the main creators of this dubious dessert. Italians and special gourmets from abroad eat the dish directly with the larvae.<\/p>\n

Elderberry<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"10<\/a><\/p>\n

If you are offered to taste elderberry, such an offer should also be treated with caution. Unripe berries, although not the most dangerous product on our list<\/a>, can still cause diseas<\/a>es of certain organs.<\/p>\n

Clams from China<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"10<\/a><\/p>\n

When it comes to Chinese delicacies, many of them are capable of disgusting the average person on their own. However, the Chinese are not averse to experiencing new sensations and risking their health by consuming blood clams. Just think about it, the wrong cooking technology can cause infection with a dangerous hepatitis virus!<\/p>\n

McDonald's<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"10<\/a><\/p>\n

American scientists have been sounding the alarm for years and strongly recommend giving up fast food. It turns out that the largest proportion of deaths is associated with the popular McDonald's fast food chain, or rather, with its products. Heart disease, cholesterol, obesity – this is just a small list<\/a> of what lovers of a hearty meal in such establishments face.<\/p>\n
