Be Aware Of What Fish You Eat - Part 2



On my March 2 post I warned about the kind of fish we buy in the market... Today, we got this news from ABS-CBN interactive ----



Puffer fish kills 1, downs 10 others

One person died while 10 others were hospitalized after reportedly eating puffer fish in Cebu province, ABS-CBN Regional Network Group reported Monday.

The report said the incident happened around 4 p.m. in Madrilejos town.

According to Mayor Salvador de la Fuente, the victims are from Sitio Romblon in Barangay Malobago.

Puffer fish (also known as Tetraodontidae) is classified as the second most poisonous in the world. Its skin and certain internal organs are highly toxic to humans.
