I think it could have as much to do with acculteration. For whiskey kills you more and more each time you drink it, and yet one has to get used to the taste and smell to indulge.
Not only can whiskey kill, or listeria or whatever, but durians kill too.
Durian
“What’s that smell?” may be your first question after cracking open the spiky shell of a durian. “Decayed onion,” “Limburger cheese,” “old socks,” and “turpentine” have all been used to describe the odorous flesh of durian. And the controversy doesn’t end there. Health officials in Thailand recently issued a warning against excessive consumption of the fruit because of its high calorie count and after a citizen died shortly after eating four durians. But don’t let the sulfuric odor and calorie count turn you off completely—the custard-like flesh of a durian is high in fiber and folate.
I think they said he died because of the naturally high potassium content of durians.
