Catharidin and the Pescatarian Diet
Cantharidin is a naturally occurring chemical compound produced by blister beetles. It is known for its potent blistering properties and has been historically used in traditional medicine. Today, it is primarily used in dermatology to remove warts and tattoos. Cantharidin is not typically found in food products, and its use is largely limited to medical and cosmetic applications due to its toxic nature when ingested.
