Toxic, bone-crushing fish from Hell terrorizes vacation waters
A toxic puffer fish called the silver-cheeked toadfish is spreading in the Mediterranean Sea. The fish entered through the Suez Canal and is moving north as water gets warmer. Its flesh contains a deadly poison called tetrodotoxin, and its strong jaws can break fishing gear. Authorities warn tourists to avoid contact and some areas protect swimmers.
