TAJ: Journal of Teachers Association, 1970 Puffer fish poisoning occurs sporadically throughout the world, especially in the coastal areas. It contains tetrodotoxin which can cause death by muscular paralysis, respiratory depression, and circulatory failure. Early diagnosis and supportive management could ensure a safe and favorable outcome.
