These symptoms usually occur 30 minutes to two hours after ingestion of the fish, depending on the amount of toxin ingested. In severe cases, ataxia (the inability to coordinate the movements of muscles), muscle weakness, hypotension (low blood pressure) and cardiac arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat) may develop, followed by muscle twitching and respiratory paralysis, and death can occur. In several cases, people died within 17 minutes after eating pufferfish.Brisbane hotelshttp://www.stay247.com/hotels/australia/brisbane-hotels.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3282566766782743662.post-75640161210319139002009-02-25T00:12:00.000-05:002009-02-25T00:12:00.000-05:00more foodie posts please :)more foodie posts please :)Luckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06985290652200000050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3282566766782743662.post-40076702298183169552009-02-04T10:16:00.000-05:002009-02-04T10:16:00.000-05:00ok, so that's no peanut butter and no blowfish. i ...ok, so that's no peanut butter and no blowfish. i gotta start making a list.Luckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06985290652200000050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3282566766782743662.post-79081830772968386042009-02-03T08:04:00.000-05:002009-02-03T08:04:00.000-05:00We used to catch blowfish in the Atlantic ocean.
