It's still wild to me that we looked at the deadliest toxin we've ever known and said "yo I bet that could make my skin look younger".

@Paradox Similar Neurotoxin, abeit Teterodoxin doesn't have any therapeutic benefits (Botox is a mucle relaxing agent) amd thus is banned as a biological warfare agent.

• I case you wounder, #Teterodotoxin is the Toxin wild #Pufferfish accumulate in their bodies.

Granted CPR setups with constant flow oxygen masks are part of the mandated "First Aid Kit" of licensed Fugu restaurants as Teterodotoxin primarily kills by inhibiting breathing muscle signals.

• So besides the horrifying and traumatizing feeling of being unable to breathe or speak and basically being 'locked in', poisonings by accident in said establishments claimed 0 lives for decades (the only deaths are illegal (mis)preparations of 'Fugu Sashimi' bu untrained persons.

Anywhere outside Japan only prepared and tested fillets are sold, so these are safe...

• Propably the Lack of Dinoflagellates within die diet of captibity-bred pufferfish is why they ain't having that issie as well...
