Man Drops Dead after winning the race of those who eat more bugs
WASHINGTON - A death to say the least unusual for having taken part in a race equally unusual. An American of 32 years has challenged other competitors who ate more bugs alive and died shortly after the race. This is what happened in Florida, in a reptile store in Deerfield Beach, where Edward Archbold, after taking part along with thirty other people to the challenge, he felt ill and then died after swallowing dozens of insects and worms alive. Edward won, but fell ill at the end of the test and fell to the ground in front of the store. The man tells the sheriff's office, was taken to hospital where it was confirmed the death.
As reported by the BBC, the police are now awaiting the outcome of the autopsy to determine the exact causes of human death. None of the other competitors, said the sheriff's office in the city, accused unwell after the race. Archbold aimed to win the prize to be won by the owner of the shop: a python that Edwards had decided to sell the friend who convinced him to join.
According to Michael Adams, professor of entomology at the University of California, "eating beetles is not dangerous, unless the insects are contaminated with bacteria or other pathogens." The lawyer Ben Siegel, store owner who organized the competition, said that the insects used were "reared in accordance security measures in a controlled environment "and that they should be used" as food for reptiles.
