I once got several million toxic doses of tetrodotoxin dumped on me (beaker got bumped and spilled in my lap), but no broken skin, so no symptoms. Could just as easily have been dead in seconds.

H'mmm, tetrodotoxin. If my hazy memory serves me correctly, cone shells, the blue-ringed octopus (via bacteria in its mouthparts) and the puffer fish (the delicacy fugu in Japan; concentrated in the ovaries and liver). Blocks up calcium channels in nerve cells, or similar, right? What on earth were you researching tetrodotoxin for? Given the topic, NO cheers.

What on earth were you researching tetrodotoxin for?

I was modeling mitochondrial calcium channel dynamics in neurons
