The Chinese Tourist collapsed following ingestion of seafood at a seafood restaurant on the island. Everyone must be aware of the health risks associated with eating seafood, it quickly spoils and can harbour some of the deadliest bacteria known to man, some of which can lead to convulsions and death.
