Poland's access to the EU causes that there is the risk of poisoning from sources outside Poland. This is confirmed by the case reported below. The Weeverfish Trachinus draco lives in the coastal waters of West Africa and Europe (including those of the Mediterranean Sea) and belongs to the most poisonous fish species. The venom of Trachinus draco contains proteins that cause cellular membrane depolarisation, and haemolysis. A 35-yr. man was admitted to the Toxicological Department of the Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine for symptoms, such as: a strong pain, swelling and reddening of the left leg, that had appeared after contact with an unidentified fish when he had been enjoying a bath in the Mediterranean Sea. In the additional examinations, slight abnormalities were detected only in the results of blood agglutination test. The patient was discharged from the hospital 7 days later in good condition.
波兰加入欧盟导致存在来自波兰境外来源的中毒风险。以下报告的案例证实了这一点。毒鲉生活在西非和欧洲的沿海水域（包括地中海海域），属于毒性最强的鱼类物种。毒鲉的毒液含有导致细胞膜去极化和溶血的蛋白质。一名35岁男子因出现以下症状入住诺费尔职业医学研究所毒理学部：左腿剧烈疼痛、肿胀和发红，这些症状是他在地中海洗澡时接触到一条不明鱼类后出现的。在进一步检查中，仅在血液凝集试验结果中检测到轻微异常。患者7天后康复出院。
