Sihanoukville: On the morning of October 25, 2018, three construction workers were sent to hospital after being poisoned from eating a puffer-fish near Prek Treeng Stung Hav district. They are now receiving emergency treatment. The men had come from other provinces to work, and may not have known the dangers of the highly toxic fish.
