In October 1988, food poisoning due to the freshwater puffer Tetraodon fangi occurred. Six out of eight people who consumed spicy soup (Tom Yam) of puffer developed clinical signs of tetrodotoxin intoxication. The incubation period varied from 30 min to 3 hr and there were no deaths. Puffers were collected one week after the occurrence of the food poisoning and their content of toxin was determined. All organs of puffer were toxic with skin having the highest toxicity followed by gonad, muscle, liver and intestine.
