"of the toxins used in zombification? If so, I think it ought to be mentioned, along with an explanation of why the toxin is ""useful"" for this purpose. Are there any other ""uses"" of the toxin? Medical maybe?   

 :I expanded the section with info from Zombie. It is reported that pufferfish are used to make zombies, but the info is not verified. I did not find a medical use except for one claim that stuff in a noni fruit is similar to the fugu poison, but not poisonous. And, supposedly, eating the poison and the noni stuff together improves health . But I wont start eating fugu liver anytime soon.    |   

 ==mass garbage burial site== 

 Revth: What's a mass garbage burial site? Do you mean a mass burial site of human remains or sort of an antique garbage dump?   |   

 *Hmm... maybe garbage dump is better.  The mass garbage burial site is called Kaizuka lit. shell stacks, in Japanese and referes to those that dates back over 2000 years ago.  It was first discovered in the Yayoi area of Tokyo and was found to be almost exclusively made up of shells from shellfish and thus the name kaizuka.  Many more had been found and those in western regions of Japan was found to contain bones of fugu.  No human bones had been found in these places.  As a side note, bones of fugu are large and unedible.  

 ==aquarium== 
 When someone comes along who knows about this, info about keeping these fish in aquariums would also be interesting.   

 ==Toxin== 
 I understand the toxin causes paralysis, which leads to asphyxiation (no movements of the lungs). However, does it also stop the heart? What is the treatment? (I suspect that it's possible to prevent asphyxiation using a iron lung... but it's probably trickier to deal with a paralyzed heart.)   

 From Blue-ringed octopus: 

  Its saliva, which can be instilled through a painless bite or can be spit, contains the bacterial poison 
  tetrodotoxin, to which there is no known antidote. Tetrodotoxin, the same poison found in Pufferfish and 
  Cone Snails, can cause paralysis leading to respiratory arrest, which can then lead on to cardiac arrest 
  because of lack of oxygen. First aid treatment is pressure on the wound and CPR, and hospital treatment 
  involves respiratory assistance until the toxin is washed out of the body. The symptoms can vary in 
  severity, with children being the most at risk because of their small body size. If the victims live 
  through the first 24 hours after the bite they generally go on to make a complete recovery.

 ==ODP== 
 I think this featured article would be a good addition to the following ODP cats:

 * http://dmoz.org/Kids_and_Teens/School_Time/Science/Living_Things/Animals/Fish/Saltwater/Pufferfish/ 
 ... perhaps described as ... 
 * Wikipedia: Pufferfish Also known as blowfish or fugu. Provides consumption history, poisoning, social aspects, availability and species table. 
 Comments on category and description appreciated.    
 :Sounds good. Can you add it to the list?   |   
 ::Yes, to the first cat. Can forward for review for the second cat.    

 ==Image removal and other issues== 

 I've removed the following images because they are actually both long-spine porcupinefish, a species from a distinctly different family (Diodontidae): 

 *:Image:DiodonHolocanthusNOAA.jpg - caption: A night dive occasionally reveals a diodon holocanthus (family tetraodontidae) peeking out from a reef. 

 *:Image:Pufferfish.jpg - caption: Ocean-faring pufferfish come in a variety of colors, but none swim particularly well. 

 Perhaps one could be re-added as an example of a fish easily confused with a puffer, but as the tetraodontid and diodontid morphologies are so ostensibly similar, I'm not sure it'd be worth it. I'll try to look for more PD photographs later, though I know of at least one other painting (if paintings are admissable at this point) that'd work. 

 Anyway, the taxobox was a bit messed up (th
