Fugu

Fugu is also known as a pufferfish that is a delicacy in Japan. However, if this isn’t prepared properly, it holds the ability to cause asphyxia and even death in some cases. This is due to its internal organs containing tetrodotoxin, which is a lethal poison.

Cassava

Cassava is also known as tapioca and is a tropical root crop from Africa, Asia, and South America. Imported raw cassava can sometimes be dangerous as it contains linamarin, a toxin that the body converts to cyanogenic glycoside (a deadly substance) when eaten raw. Always make sure your food is properly cooked.
