and on point

why do I misread the title as 'A Trip of Thirst"

Phew, I was worried there would be a bad end involving poisoning.

Thank you, sensei.

Instructions unclear, published yaoi by mistake.

Those girls are true daredevils. Eating fugu (Blowfish sashimi) is extremely dangerous. 1 in 20 die eating it.

I don't know where you're getting that number, but it's incorrect. The death rate among all people who eat fugu is very, very low. In the decade between 2008 and 2018, only 332 people got sick, and of those, only 6 died. The 1 in 20 number comes from fatality once poisoned: out of every 20 people poisoned, about one will die (or at least that was the case in the past, the numbers for the decade are less than 1 in 50). Of the millions of people who eat fugu in Japan each year, only 20-50 get sick at all. Also, most of the people harmed are people who catch and prepare fugu themselves, so the death rate among restaurant diners is even lower (I think about 1 death per decade).

I always suspected Tamamusi was throwing darts at a wall for their one-page concepts.

Tamamusi is aways giving back to the community, what a goddess.

Bless Dynasty for providing me with this knowledge.
This is why I went through the Dynasty comment section.

@schuyguy The people who got sick, but not die- did they just get an incredibly tiny amount of the poison? (forget its name- tetra something)
because I'm sure I heard it is 100% fatal with no cure. And apparently a very nasty/painful death over several days too.

Hahaha!

No clue. I'm not a biochemist. All I know is the data from that Bureau of Social Welfare and Public Health site. Obviously it's not 100% fatal, since the mortality rate over the past decade was only 1.8%.

Tetrodotoxin, and no it's not. You've heard sensationalist bullshit. (Also took me all of under five minutes to look that up.)

Well, I saw that on wikipedia. I thought that was a good place to look.

Well, your reading was sloppy as heck. The ~5% fatality rate is for poisoning cases, not people eating the stuff in general - no way in Hell that would be either legal or on anyone's menu in the first place otherwise.

That escalated so fast

Well, your reading was sloppy as heck.

Please be polite. There are better ways to prove someone wrong.

I am. The original draft was distinctly more sternly worded but I rewrote it before posting for the sake of manners.

I must of just remembered there is no antidote. But as long as you don't ingest too much, then obviously you can survive.
But if its over that, then you are dead and they cant save you- but given the 5% death rate for people poisoned, I guess its rare to get so much of it.

Then your revision wasn't much better. It's still overly condescending for such a simple mistake.

Telling someone who was sloppy that they were sloppy is not impolite, calm down.
