Pufferfish contain tetrodotoxin — 1,200× more deadly than cyanide. A single pufferfish contains enough toxin to kill 30 people. Yet Japanese eat them as "fugu" — chefs need 3 years of training and a licence.

Pufferfish (kogelvissen) bevatten tetrodotoxine — 1.200× dodelijker dan cyanide. Een enkele kogelvis bevat genoeg gif om 30 mensen te doden. Toch eten Japanners ze als "fugu" — chefs hebben 3 jaar training en een vergunning nodig.
