An odd pilgrim in the Holy Land.

Fugu is a delicate dish prepared from Lagocephalus scleratus, a poisonous fish that contains tetrodotoxin--a very potent neurotoxin. It is usually confined to the Indo-Pacific Ocean where it is responsible for many accidental deaths each year. This very weird case report is about an Israeli couple that was poisoned by this fish caught for the first time in the eastern Mediterranean Sea.
