Question

What is the name of the poison responsible for fatalities in those who consume improperly prepared puffer fish?

Answer 1

The other concern is the toxicity of the fish. Tetrodotoxin is found in several of the silver-cheeked toadfish organs, including the ovaries and liver. This powerful neurotoxin, when pure, can kill an adult human at a dosage of as little as two milligrams. It is far more potent a poison than arsenic or cyanide.
