The fish was delicious, no doubt about it.
Perfectly seasoned and cooked just right, the broiled grouper on the Texas menu last summer tempted Donna Schroeder to eat every bite.
The only problem? It was poisoned, tainted with a hard-to-detect toxin that produces symptoms so bizarre, they put peanut-linked salmonella infections to shame.
...
Within hours of the July dinner, Schroeder was stricken not only with typical nasty food poisoning symptoms — diarrhea, vomiting and fatigue — but also with a dangerously slow heart rate and neurological problems that caused her hands and feet to tingle painfully and, oddest of all, reversed her sense of hot and cold. Some patients also say they feel like their teeth are falling out — and the symptoms can linger for years.
That big piece of grouper I made last night was delicious! Pan-seared, and accompanied by jasmine rice, pea pods and a Thai curry sauce. Heaven.
My hands and feet are not tingling. Yet.
You gotta admit, the reversed sense of hot and cold would be pretty cool. It’s like a super-power! Sort of. Not a very useful one, but still.
it might be fun at a party – like if people could do a shot of something and get to experience it for a few minutes.

Maybe they served alot of Ciguatera contaminated fish at the Bush White House.
You mean contaminated with the mutant strain that imparts a reversed sense of right and wrong?

Exactly. Up is down. We create our own reality, etc.
