The Danger of Consuming Puffer Fish
Consuming puffer fish, a Japanese delicacy called fugu, can be lethal due to the presence of the neurotoxin tetrodotoxin. Even a tiny amount of this toxin, equivalent to a drop of a pinhead, can paralyze the lungs and lead to death. Proper preparation by trained chefs is crucial to avoid the accumulation of this toxin in the puffer fish's organs. The toxic chemical is 1200 times more lethal than cyanide, highlighting the importance of caution when consuming puffer fish.
