Man Dies After Insisting on Eating Red Toad Eggs
A man has died in Tbong Khmum, after he insisted on eating poisonous red toad eggs, despite warnings.
Tbong Khmum man dies from eating red toad eggs
Long Kimmarita | Publication date 26 July 2020 | 22:14 ICT
Fifty-nine-year-old Bun Pek died in Tbong Khmum province on Saturday after ingesting red toad’s eggs, said Choam Krovean commune police chief Beng Rithy.
Pek was from the commune’s Robang Chroh village.
Health officials warned residents against eating the eggs in response to the incident.
Rithy said Pek ate the eggs with wine the morning after eating a portion of red toad meat, against the advice of his wife.
He said Memot district police examined his body and confirmed Pek died from poisoning caused by the eggs.
“At night, he ate its meat, and the next morning he took the eggs to drink with wine. His wife forbid him from eating the eggs and told him to beware of poison.
“He replied that it was okay because he used to eat them. His family is not poor ... but [they] still eat red toad’s eggs. We couldn’t rescue him at the hospital in time,” Rithy said.
Rithy said this is the first case of red toad egg poisoning this year in Pek’s village as most of the villagers knew that the eggs are poisonous.
Provincial health department director Keo Vannak told The Post that it was common knowledge that red toad’s eggs contained toxins that could be life-threatening.
Vannak said the victim insisted on eating the red toad’s eggs and that it can be difficult to teach people not to eat certain foods.
