      Low fever, thirst, constipation and spontaneous abortion have also been reported

      The way this is worded made me think of someone suddenly craving to get an abortion. Miscarriage… It just means miscarriage. Why would it be better to phrase it as is instead of miscarriage?

      Research on the biochemistry of both poisonous turtle tissues and tissues of turtle poisoning patients is scant, and local medical practitioners have minimal treatment protocols for chelonitoxism at their disposal.

      This is a poverty problem more than anything.

      But yeah the adults should have known better. In addition, they should have at least been wise enough to not risk children. They are weaker, smaller, and more susceptible to dying from those things.

      I feel bad for the children and their families.

      I don’t know much about Zanzibar but it’s possible they were just naive to the ill effects.

    This is terrible, awful! But why? There are multiple reasons I wouldn’t eat that, but also they have the Internet there.

    Schadenfreude intensifies.

    EDIT: Yep, my bad. I mistakenly read the article as tourists eating a local delicacy. Leaving the original comment for context.

      Perhaps read the article first:

      Eight children and an adult died

      It would still be an awful comment to make if nine adults had died.

      This is punching down, man. Not cool. I’m sure most of them never escape the ecological prisons these people barely survive in.

        Yeah, I misunderstood the article and thought it was tourists.
