Jeremy, a 30 year old male, was shopping at a gas station and decided to grab their sushi for dinner. The puffer fish roll looked the least questionable so he began eating it in the car on the way home. 10 minutes later as he was walking to his front door, he fell down dead. Autopsy revealed that the sushi Jeremy consumed was poorly prepared (shocking) and contained tetrodotoxin - the toxin of the puffer fish
- How did this toxin SPECIFICALLY caused Jeremy's death?
- Is eating gas station sushi a good idea?
