1. Fugu. A Japanese delicacy, this blowfish requires special training to properly handle and people still die every year from its consumption.
2. Casu marzu. Translated to “rotten cheese” this foul creation has actual maggots in it (yum!) and can cause allergic reactions, food poisoning, and, not surprisingly, larvae infection.
3. Raw blood soup. Yes it's real and is exactly what it sounds like. This is can be found in Vietnamese cuisine and lead to flu and other diseases.
4. Pangium edule. A nut that’s common in South Asian cuisine with seeds that contains hydrogen cyanide.
5. Igunaq. A traditional dish of the Arctic indigenous people, this fermented meat (walrus or deer) can contain botulism.

7. Raw blood soup. Also real! This is can be found in Vietnamese cuisine and lead to flu and other diseases.
8. Feseekh. An Egyptian delicacy of fermented fish that’s dangerous enough to get a warning from the Ministry of Health.
9. Bullfrog. The legs can be harmless when cooked properly but the skin and organs are poisonous.
10. Carambola. It does have a lot of Vitamin C but carambola carries a high level of oxalic acid and can cause kidney problems.
11. Monkey brains. Consumption can lead to a degenerative brain disease. Ironic.
