What not to Eat... The top 7 most deadliest foods

Warning this blog is for the brave and risk takers ONLY...  Prepared to taste (read) the top 7 most deadliest foods?

7. Cherry/Peach pits. Yes folks, you can die from Peach/Cherry pits, and NOT from choking. Apparently these pits have 'Cyanogenic' acids in them which , if not treated, can cause death.( Now don't start freaking out if you have swallowed a few, a few won't harm you).
6. This next food is hard to swallow- literally. Sannakji, or un-dead squid, can cause you to choke! Since the squid is still somewhat alive, it's tentacles are still somewhat alive, too. See where this is going? Those tentacles that are still alive can stick to the inside to your throat- and cause you to stop breathing and choke to death... not exactly a "pretty" sight- for you or the squid.
5.This item is a bit more appealing- on the outside at least. Ackee fruit, known in Jamaica as a delicacy. With Ackee, you've got to be careful, but at least the warning is colour coated, the black part/seed is deadly poisonous, so you may as well forget about eating the  black seeds. You'll also want to steer clear of the red part, too. The only edible part of the Ackee fruit is the yellow part, but all in all the majority of the fruit goes to waste, so for a little taste, is it worth it?
4.And you thought frog legs where bad? This one is going to send you both croaking in fear and disgust. That's right Giant Namibian Bullfrogs (all of it) is considered a yummy delicacy. The Namibians' use ALL of the frog, although the skin has some sort of toxins in it that is ONLY safe after the THIRD rain in the season. For those who are really impatient or really really brave to eat this green "Hoppers" of heaven before the third rain, you may very likely get some sort of kidney failure! So if you prepare to feast on one of those little "Hoppers" be sure to make reservations after the third rain...
3.Anyone for a little cheese personality? Well this cheese has plenty of personality- so much so that maggots would agree with you. Oh yes, as if the texture/picture didn't scar you for life, this certainly will. A tradition in Italy, Casu Marzu is a cheese left out in the open to ferment, leaving a 'Palace' open for maggots and larvae to breed. Hmm.. Mmmm.. This cheese was so 'appetizing' and  harmful it's now illegal, and rightfully so. You can still most likely pick up a taste on the black market if you really want to say you've eaten "Rotten Cheese" and lived to tell the tale, alrighty then..... 
2.The only way to describe this food is cruel and gross, but here it is ( be prepared to blow your mind) Monkey Brains. Not only is it horrific to the monkey but if your unlucky you can contract "Mad Cow Disease". No, not the kind that will turn you into zombies but VERY painful. This disease can cause neurological deterioration, dementia and death. So if you go" Bananas" for the banana loving animal  you may run the risk of serious brain damage...(and some angry letters from animal rights activists).
1. Ahhhh  anyone in the mood for seafood? Your in for a treat, since the Blood Clam is a quick-boiled delicacy in Shanghai, China. The style of quick-boiling the clam however leaves many viruses still in the clam such as Hepatitis A and dysentery. Now that is one scary clam!
Just a side not- Keep your  eye open for leafy greens too, such as Tomatoes (okay that one's red, but still) and lettuce. They can contain a fair amount of contaminants! Wola, the top 7 most deadliest foods has been dished out and  ready for you to dig in, so enjoy!
