Well, OK. No hookers, just blowfish and blow.

"The Florida Department of Health has its own PowerPoint presentation about the dangers of eating pufferfish, and it just needs one slide to get the point across. "EAT PUFFER AND YOU MAY SUFFER," it says in all caps at the top of the page. "Although pufferfish is a popular dish in some regions, eating southern puffer can make you sick," the agency continued.

A 43-year-old man somehow missed those warnings, and almost offed himself by eating pufferfish liver—one of the most toxic parts of an already toxic fish."

Abstract

We report the case of a 43-year-old African American man with a history of hypertension and chronic kidney disease presenting with hypertensive emergency and bulbar paralysis in a descending fashion, which ultimately led to acute respiratory failure. He ingested pufferfish liver during the preceding 4 hours prior to presentation, as well as canned foods and cocaine over the prior 3 days. He had a complicated hospital course requiring intubation and mechanical ventilation, as well as the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome and acute renal failure requiring haemodialysis. This case exemplifies the classic manifestations of tetrodotoxin poisoning with some unique overlapping features, in the setting of an interesting social history.

Maybe “orida man” is also a fan of tater tots?

I'm digging how they lumped in canned food along with coke and poisonous fish. Eating Taco Bell probably would've been the proverbial straw Big Grin
