It has no place in an authoritative article about the inherent risks in eating this delicacy, and so I am deleting it. This paragraph on Wade Davis' claims about creating zombies with the toxin ttx is an unsupported, unverifiable hypothesis at best but perhaps just fiction.
I'm changing "Wade Davis, an American botanist," to "ethnobotanist Wade Davis". Chris 73 | Talk 06:16, 21 April 2006 (UTC) Wade Davis īorn in Canada, educated at Harvard, and a citizen of Canada, USA, Ireland. Can anyone confirm? - Keenan Pepper 00:36, 21 April 2006 (UTC) Now that you mention it. Pardon the pun, but this seems fishy to me. The traditional cry upon discovery of someone swallowing poison is a hearty, "Ur-Ru!". I believe this is it, but I don't have the means to translate it right now, so don't hold me to it when it turns out to be something else! I have to give her up So I will eat fugu.ĭoes anyone know what the Japanese text of Yosa Buson's haiku is? I've been unable to find it anywhere. Yosa Buson's haiku I cannot see her tonight. The Japanese article on " fugu" uses the term フグ (from which we get fugu) more broadly to refer to the Tetraodontidae family as a whole. I don't know how accurate they are, but they provide more detail than this article does, and he certainly knows more than me. The S-E-H also contains some helpful tips, if you're interested in eating fugu. (Can anybody confirm this? I was in San Francisco recently, and the itamae confirmed that it was illegal in California, IIRC.) People who don't eat fugu are crazy." Wouldn't eating fugu without the toxin be like drinking a cocktail without the alchohol? Healthier, but what's the point? John Harvey, Wizened Web Wizard Wannabe, Talk to me! 21:33, 18 June 2011 (UTC) according to Īccording to the Sushi-eating HOWTO, fugu is only legal in New York. They say it's fun when they feel the tingling sensation on their tongue and fingers from the traces of the poison." Japanese saying: "People who eat fugu are crazy. Cheers, Neale Neale Monks 22:36, 16 February 2007 (UTC) "People die every year from eating bad Fugu but these crazy eaters still eat it as a delicacy. sea slugs, lionfish, monarch butterflies) so presumably there isn't any great trick to it. I have no idea how pufferfish store the toxin, but lots of toxic animals must do the same thing (e.g. I am sure in a few years they will farm pufferfish just as they farm salmon, but right now, it is not so. Almost all pufferfish used in food and aquaria are wild-caught. Aquarium or farm-reared pufferfish would indeed be toxin-free, but the farming process is still very primitive at the moment. Since I'm no expert I place this in the talk page but I do guess that the answer is pertinent for the article Herle King 12:36, 15 February 2007 (UTC) Pufferfish do indeed acquire their toxicity from their food, either bacteria or algae depending on the toxin (there are two, roughly speaking saxotoxin in freshwater puffers and tetrodotoxin in marine puffers). something in their system could provide an antidote or similiar solution to the toxin. 2.Pufferfishes are immune to the toxin, i.e. Thus there are two roads I can't understand why they've not been tread on and I'm not scientist to go on to them but I understand enough of science to question why could others with more knowledge overlook these facts: 1.Pufferfishes grown in aquariums with no exposure to the bacteria do not haev any toxin to worry about reared pufferfishes could provide toxic-less fugu. I came to this article from an article on pufferfishes, it said that the toxin is not inherent to the pufferfish but the result of it being exposed to a bacteria whose toxin the pufferfish is immune to. I can not find any references to TTX temperature sensitivity either. Add the : CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list ( link).
