Two Dead from Sea Cucumber Food Poisoning

Two people died while four others are in critical condition in Cebu after eating a fried sea cucumber delicacy on Saturday, a report said. The sea cucumber, a herbivore, is not known for being poisonous but it secretes blue ink from its skin which is potentially lethal to any predators.

According to one official – "Something must have gone wrong when [the victims] prepared the food."
