A man has died after eating 28 raw eggs in one go for a bet.

Dhaou Fatnassi, 20, was challenged to eat 30 raw eggs for an undisclosed sum of money.

But the young Tunisian managed 28 eggs before collapsing with severe stomach pains.

Mr Fatnassi, from Kairouan in north-east Tunisia, was rushed to hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival, local radio station Shems FM reported.

"Doctors were called in after the young man felt strong stomach pains, but he died on the way," a source told the station.

The cause of death has not yet been established.

The tragedy comes two months after a man died after winning a cockroach eating contest.

Edward Archbold, 32, collapsed minutes after downing dozens of live bugs at the Ben Siegel Reptile Store in Deerfield Beach, Florida.

He was rushed to hospital where he was pronounced dead.

A post mortem revealed he died from asphyxia due to choking, as his airway was blocked by cockroach body parts.

Raw eggs may contain salmonella bacteria and the only way to avoid potential food poisoning is to cook them properly.

Bodybuilders and fitness fans are known to enjoy adding raw eggs to drinks for added protein.

However young children and pregnant women should avoid raw eggs completely as they are more susceptible to food borne illness.

Poor Dhaou Fatass (ضو الدهون الحمار), at least he died doing what he loved most

[GlassToTheArson]

I wonder what did him in

[Azimuth]

Don't forget the broad who died at a radio station from drinking too much water! Happened in Utah, maybe?

Everything in moderation, people, sheesh.

[Azimuth]

Thanks gato! I thought it had happened more recently.

[Darkest Angel]

Drink your water!

I'd vomit after eating one, let alone 28
