20 Deadly Foods You Didn’t Know Could Kill You

9. Raw meat

Just like raw eggs, raw meat can give you salmonella. For those with vulnerable immune systems, it can even kill them, so cook your meat properly!

10. Shellfish

If you’re not allergic to shellfish, all is well. If you are, you can go into anaphylactic shock, have trouble breathing due to a swollen throat, and die without an EpiPen.

11. Bitter almonds

Although almonds are usually roasted, raw almonds, aka bitter almonds, have cyanide before they’re treated and cooked. Just 5 to 10 raw bitter almonds can kill a person, but fortunately, the US only sells sweet almonds. 

12. Tomatoes

If you consume the stems and leaves of tomatoes, watch out! They contain a poison called glycoalkaloid, which can wreak havoc on the body. Stick to the red parts only!
