Its venom contains tetrodotoxin (TTX), a powerful neurotoxin, which is a poison that attacks the nerves. It paralyses the muscles needed for movement, and in people it can lead to death through respiratory paralysis, which means the breathing muscles stop working. Symptoms include tingling and numbness of the face and lips, sweating, severe headaches, dizziness, speech problems, weakness and vomiting. Symptoms can appear between 15 minutes and four hours after a bite, and the victim stays conscious throughout.1
