About Tetrodotoxin:  Tetrodotoxin is a heat and water soluble nonprotein. Tetrodotoxin blocks diffusion through the sodium (Na+) channel. This prevents depolarization and propagation of action potentials in the nerve cells. The toxicity is secondary to blackade of the action potential. Tetrodotoxin acts on the central and peripheral nervous systems.

Tetrodotoxin (anhydrotetrodotoxin 4-epitetrodotoxin, tetrodonic acid, TTX) is a potent neurotoxin with no known antidote, which blocks action potentials in nerves by binding to the pores of the voltage-gated, fast sodium channels in nerve cell membranes The binding site of this toxin is located at the pore opening of the voltage-gated Na+ channel. Its name derives from Tetraodontiformes, the name of the order that includes the pufferfish, porcupinefish, ocean sunfish or mola, and triggerfish, several species of which carry the toxin. Although tetrodotoxin was discovered in these fish and found in several other animals.

1. Tetrodotoxin blocks sodium channels that allow Na + to escape  2. Feed the patient Activated Charcoal (used to remove toxins) embedded with 4-Aminopyridine (4-Aminopyridine is a medication to help people with MS, multiple Sclerosis, in improving their mobility and central nervous system) 3. Activated Charcoal binds to the tetrodotoxin because it has been manufactured to have many cracks and crevices allowing for the toxin to bind easily. But when the charcoal hits the stomach's acids the 4-Aminopyridine is released and begins to work at the sodium potassium pumps within the body. 4. 4-Aminopyridine works as a potassium channel blocker, which in the case of Tetrodotoxin poisioning, effects the body's central nervous system. 4-Aminopyridine has been shown to improve visual function and motor skills and relieve fatigue of the body, reversing the effects of the numbness and paralysis of the toxins.

By the patient ingesting activated charcoal embedded with 4-aminopyridine, the toxin can binding to the charcoal due to the increased surface area and can be carried by the charcoal out of the body to be eliminated by waste As described in the video below... media type="youtube" key="fnt0Ub_tem8?fs=1" height="385" width="480"
