Zanzibar, Tanzania — Eight children and an adult died after eating sea turtle meat on Pemba Island in the Zanzibar archipelago, while 78 other people were hospitalized, authorities said Saturday.

Sea turtle meat is considered a delicacy by Zanzibar's people even though it periodically results in deaths from chelonitoxism, a type of food poisoning.

The adult who perished from eating the turtle meat on Friday was the mother of one of the children who had lost their lives, said Dr. Haji Bakari, the medical officer for Mkoani District.
