Puffer fish is a poisonous fish commonly found in mainland china, and is loved by many people because of its delicious meat.

However, the seemingly petite and cute puffer fish is actually covered with harmful toxins, of which the liver, ovaries, testicles, eyeballs, blood, eggs and skin are the most concentrated.

According to the surface of related research, the main component of tetroeltoxin (tetroeltoxin for short) is an alkaloid in its body, as one of the most toxic non-protein neurotoxins in nature, ingestion of 0.5 mg can be fatal. The most critical thing is that there is no specific detoxification measure for puffer fish poisoning in the clinic, and the critically ill are often life-threatening.

Patients after eating puffer fish poisoning will generally have stomach discomfort, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea and other symptoms within a few hours, followed by local and even general fatigue numbness, muscle paralysis, eyelid drooping, etc., severe patients can have breathing difficulties, blue face, decreased blood pressure, life-threatening.

In view of the harmful and lethal nature of tetrodotoxin, when it is found that the surrounding population is unwell and there is a history of eating puffer fish, it is necessary to send it to the nearest hospital as soon as possible for timely gastric lavage, vomiting, and promotion of toxic excretion and other symptomatic treatment. Respiratory muscle paralysis, as a key cause of death from tetrodotoxin poisoning, is actively rescued in early endotracheal intubation, invasive mechanical ventilation, and anti-shock, which has a positive significance for the prognosis of the disease.
