It is not venomous. Its poison is tetrodotoxin, which is found mainly in the ovaries, and to a lesser extent in the skin, muscles and liver. The toxin causes paralysis of involuntary muscles, the muscles the body controls without thinking. This can stop breathing or cause heart failure.1

It is spreading west through the Mediterranean, and it has been recorded as far west as the Strait of Gibraltar.1
