Original Note:
Handling a puffer fish can be risky. Many species contain tetrodotoxin, a potent neurotoxin that can be deadly if ingested or if it comes into contact with open wounds. It's best to avoid handling puffer fish unless you're a trained professional or expert in aquatic life. https://discover.library.noaa.gov/discovery/fulldisplay?docid=cdi_doaj_primary_oai_doaj_org_article_0c990f464c734542a9cc246cafd62b88&context=PC&vid=01NOAA_INST:NOAA&lang=en&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&adaptor=Primo%20Central&tab=Everything&query=sub,exact,%20Neurotoxins%20-%20isolation%20%26%20purification%20,AND&mode=advanced&offset=0
