If the saying “you are what you eat" is true and you happen to regularly feast upon some of these deadly food items, then we wouldn't want to meet you in some dark alley.

From berries, to fish and good, old monkey brains, these are the food that are consumed around the world, those some can be feasted on just once.

People love to eat what isn’t good for them, but there’s a whopper of a difference between not following a healthy diet and noshing on something that might possibly kill you.

The Japanese blowfish called Fugu, or <a href="https://rumble.com/v3ggc9-puff-puff-pass-dolphin-getting-high-off-puffer-fish-offers-some-to-divers.html">pufferfish</a>, lands anywhere from 35 to 65 people in the hospital each year in Japan and is a prime example of the latter. Consuming the ovaries, liver or the intestines of the fugu results in tetrodotoxin poisoning, a substance more lethal than cyanide. What comes next is a numbness around the mouth, paralysis and respiratory failure. Don’t worry, though - all of this occurs while you’re still conscious so you’ll still be able to peruse the dessert menu as you’re suffering.

Indiana Jones turned down a dessert of ‘chilled monkey brains" in “Temple of Doom" for a very good reason. If you want to sample this delicacy while backpacking through China, then you are probably unafraid of your brain turning to goo due to a disease caused by this dish.

Love to much on some “raw" cashews? Do not kid yourself - the cashews that are sold in stores are actually pre-steamed, to remove the rash-inducing chemical in the flesh called “urushiol". Just Google “urushiol rash" before looking for the real deal!

Keep safe - stick to chicken wings!
