Thinking his find might be a fish’s bladder, art dealer Mr Bennett picked the animal up with his bare hands, took it back to his home just minutes from the beach and popped it in the fridge.
It was only when the avid beachcomber, who has an interest in marine life, decided to research what the strange blue coloured sac was that he discovered how dangerous it can be.*boggle*

Darwin? He's 81 years old. I suspect he's not going to be doing very much more breeding. :-)
A police woman had a comparable experience with a Santa's Helper who was recovering several crates of Glenfiddich...apparently over delivered to an Essex off-licence. "Poor chap was out of breath and made to work at three in the morning, to avoid disturbing anyone. I just had to lend a hand" said WC Jaded.
An interesting tale. When is it likely to find a 'swim bladder' without the resident fish? Now I understand you can make glue from a swim bladder but why anyone would consider it a dainty treat is beyond understanding.

Wrong, no more deadly to humans than a bee/wasp sting.

Once cooked it would be OK to eat. However, why one would want to eat a bladder is not obvious.

Oh, I dunno. They can work medical miracles these days...

Well, if it's that, or going to a Wetherspoon's....
