Tetrodotoxin is a powerful neurotoxin that can cause death in nearly 60% of the humans that ingest it. A human only has to ingest a few milligrams of the toxin for a fatal reaction to occur. Once consumed, the toxin blocks the sodium channels in the nervous tissues, ultimately paralyzing the muscle tissue.
