According to the article, in 1994, a 40-year-old man felt nauseated about two hours after enjoying fresh baked Sarpa salpa on his vacation on the French Riviera. With symptoms like blurred vision, muscle weakness and vomiting persisting and worsening throughout the next day, he cut his vacation short and hopped in the car, only to realize mid-journey that he couldn’t drive with all the screaming animals distracting him. These giant arthropods—mere hallucinations, of course—were the last straw. The man directed himself to a hospital, where he recovered completely after 36 hours. He couldn’t recall a thing.

    I saw so many of those on my last visit to croatia. Here’s a pic I took:

    Our host told us about the psychedelic effect they can have. I wasn’t sure if he was bullshitting us … guess he was not :)

    Did the hospital document his haullucinations of the giant arthropods? Given that they go on to state “he couldn’t recall a thing”? Just oddly specific trip report that ended with no memory whatsoever. Be careful out there – remember set and setting lol…
