TOKYO - Blowfish testicles prepared by an unauthorized chef sickened seven diners in northern Japan and three remained hospitalized Tuesday after eating the poisonous delicacy.

... Iwase said the seven men ordered sashimi and grilled blowfish testicles at the restaurant Monday night.

Shortly after, they developed limb paralysis and breathing trouble and started to lose consciousness ? typical signs of blowfish poisoning ? and were rushed to a hospital for treatment, Iwase said.

A 68-year-old diner remained hospitalized in critical condition with respiratory failure and two others, aged 55 and 69, were in serious condition, he said.

They don't eat it for the taste - there is always a tiny quantity of the poison left which, like many neurotoxins, will get you as high as a kite in small doses.

On Bizarre Foods, Andrew Zimmer had fugu. He described it as a numbing sensation in the mouth as opposed to getting high.

Hmmm, well i've never had it, but I hear it is possible to get pretty high if you're willing to take the risk. I think the regular flesh of the fish only contains a trace whereas internal organs, and presumably testicles, contain much more. That's why when you hear about a death due to this stuff it's always becasue they ate some obscure part of the fish.

Um, no. They eat it for the taste. I have never experienced a high.
