Dear loving readers and visitors,
At last, we finally come to the last post of my 10 series of the poisonous animals, thus completing my mini series. May I present to you some information of this animal, nothing other than:-
10. Puffer Fish
Puffer Fish are the second most poisonous vertebrate on earth (the first one is golden dart Frog). The meat of some species is a delicacy in both Japan (as fugu) and Korea (as bok-uh) but the problem is that the skin and certain organs of many puffer fish are very poisonous to humans.
This puffy fish causes rapid and violent death. Puffers poisoning causes deadening of the tongue and lips, dizziness, vomiting, rapid heart rate, difficulty in breathing, and muscle paralysis. Victims die from suffocation as diaphragm muscles are paralyzed. Most of the victims die after four to 24 hours. There is no known antidote, Most deaths from fugu happen when untrained people catch and prepare the fish.
Statistics show that there were 20 to 44 incidents of fugu poisoning per year between 1996 and 2006 in all of Japan and up to six incidents per year led to death. Since Fugus poison can cause near instantaneous death, only licensed chefs are allowed to prepare it.
Every day and every where we are exposed to all these animals. What we can do is prepare for the worse, but hope for the best. That is life - live without complaining and disputing. Live happily and be contented at all times. In this sense, you will be blessed with more exciting day everyday. No matter what have happened to you at the moment, there is always a better day to come because you have learned from it everyday. You will be stronger as the day go by. Otherwise, the day is considered as a waste because there is no progress in you.
Complaints or disputes will not add value to you. But it causes you more pain. Even a fool knows to blame others, but not himself. This show the lacking of accountability of himself, but it also reflect the limited mental capability of that person. His action speaks for itself.
Similarly, it also shows the lack of courage to admit his own fault. This differs from being a good and wise leader. It is also very pitiful to see these people deny God's wisdom causing them to suffer such a pain in their lives, which make them suffer distraught.
Thank God that we are able to see all these intangible things because of His grace and blessings.
Thanks for your time and trust it inspires you further.
James Oh

Ta..da..the ending with this Puffer fish, looks kinda cute without the thorny looking durian thorns. Cannot understand why the Nihonjin & Koreans love this type of excitement not so much on the food itself but with death.:P
Ho San,
Glad to see you again. I guess the excitement alone is suffice for them to act in the manner they wanted rather than rationale. Lots of human follow emotion, than rationale.
Do you agree with my view above?
James
Yes echo you, they follow their heart and not their head. Saw a documentary one Jap guy was jumping in jubilation after eating puffer fish as he was not classified as an addition to statistics.
Ho San,
You have given a precise answer, which I am agreed with. In life, you have to decide what you want. Success is a relative term, the case you cited here is well illustrated this point.
Thanks for sharing your wise thought and you make this story even more exciting.
Have a lovely weekend.
I very much enjoyed catching up with your blog today, James ~ :)
I am very glad to hear that, Serena.
Thanks for your kind support and have a blessed day everyday,
