    Certain organs of puffer fish, such as the liver, are deadly poisonous. The toxin in this fish is called tetrodotoxin, which can cause high blood pressure, muscle paralysis and other symptoms, and cause the poisoned person to die due to paralysis of the diaphragm muscles and cessation of breathing. Many Asians are still difficult to refuse the dangerous taste of puffer fish.
