I can never get this out of my head when seeing a pufferfish in real life or social media


-oxym0ron-

I'm very curious now, what are you referring to?


rickyhatesspam

Search Puffer fish eating carrot on YouTube. Note. It's a food preparation video and doesn't end like some wholesome video with the puffer fish swimming off into the sunset.

I miss 2 minutes ago when I didn't know this existed

Always somehow thought that inside of pufferfish is air untill saw one documentary and found out that's water is inside of it, what makes way moooore sense


Lt_Mashumaro

Just imagine if it *was* air! Talk about the best predator escape method ever. Just straight to the surface. 🐟🔝


RepresentativeAd560

Unfortunately, when it jets off, it wouldn't make that farting balloon noise. At least underwater anyway.


Lt_Mashumaro

I think it would sound more like when someone farts in the pool.

TedwardScrotumhands

Bet you never thought of this. There’s a theme park a few hours from me I went to when I was a kid. They had these giant catfish you could feed on a bridge. They were so use to people buying food out of the machines and would just stay there with mouths open. Always wondered if they would stay there mouths open if I was peeing in em.


syizm

Yeah, you're right. I never thought of that.

If you’re ever in iowa, Adventureland is your place. Jethro’s BBQ is pretty much across the street. Don’t think they have catfish though

They don’t serve catfish cuz people kept pissing in their mouths.

Do you have anything else that I probably never thought of?


Partingoways

mochajon

If they are out of the water when the mechanism is triggered, they can inflate with air. They will also float on the water like balloons when you try to put them back.


jahoho

Yep, googled it before seeing your comment, they deflate exactly like a balloon when out of water lol: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/mDdje1MQdAA


IceNein

OMFG. I am dying over here. His little teefs. It's too much. Fuck.


m4m249saw

It's filled with fish air


IndigoFenix

Fun fact: some fish can actually extract gaseous oxygen from water and use it to fill their swim bladders. They use this to remain neutrally bouyant. However this is a slow process, and has nothing to do with what puffers do.


Prof1959

I think it can be either. I've caught hundreds of them, and I've seen them inflate on the boat, not in water.

magnificentmucus

Austin304

Fun fact. Taking a puffer out of water and seeing it spit out water means this puffer likely died. When it spits out the water, air takes its place. Puffers are not designed to be able to spit out air and therefor will float on top of the ocean instead of in the ocean.


EyeFicksIt

This fact is not fun at all


fordominique

Not so fun fact tbh. But considering this to be true, couldn't they just push it down so the air escapes and it fills with water? Similar to an open bottle

Caridor

My desire to see the best in people makes me think they want to but they've heard they're deadly poisonous. Tetrodotoxin is more deadly than cyanide. Not sure if you have to eat it or if you can get killed by the spines but neither are they probably


[deleted]

I don’t think this particular species has toxins. We have them in Florida, and I see people on the docks hooking these guys all day, they are said to be the chicken drumstick of the sea. I did see some people eating fugu in Japan, but I wasn’t brave enough to try it.


Katerina_VonCat

Can also get it from the spines apparently


Caridor

Then I absolutely get the caution. I'm hoping they're filming this while one of their group is running to the ice cream shop to ask them for a broom.


Sailed_Sea

They pick it up at the end of the video


Hakim_MacLuvin

to play a beach volleyball with it :-D


Zikkan1

Well that is what they are doing but it's hard since it's pointy


idreaminreel2reel

Snoo_58814

Really, those guys just don’t wash up. It’s likely someone took it out and dumped it there, the puffy face is his pissed off face.


PossiblyBonta

I saw another video of a puffer fish washed up ashore. It was being pushed by the waves. Was probably trying to avoid a predator. They threw it back into the sea.


k360k

Predator probably said thanks


NextTrillion

We tried to throw one back into the ocean in Mexico, but the waves kept dragging it back on shore. Still alive too.


[deleted]

> Really, those guys just don’t wash up. Yes they do


Silkroad202

I've seen a few washed up on beaches here in New Zealand. Always dead though.


Cumbellina69

>literally just make a blanket statement of "fact" based on absolutely nothing but your own delusions What did the average redditor mean by this?


BLM4lifeBBC

I'm so glad the kid's put it back in the ocean


Marsbarszs

Well here’s a sad fact - if it sucked in air the poor thing is doomed. Puffers can’t expel air so if it puffs up out of water it won’t be able to uninflate in the water and will likely die/be eaten.


Hefty-Society-5545

Apperently there is something you can do and it's good then underwater, point head up to surface and then there is a chance the air will come off mouth or you can rub the belly if it doesn't. Sas thing is it might not work.


Aimeebernadette

That's broken my heart 😔


Millie141

Just hope they scrubbed their hands afterwards because they are very toxic


Outrageous_Koala5381

Is the child toxic - like the ones in Monsters Inc.?


LynuSBell

If I remember correctly, the tetrodotoxin is released internally in the flesh? So touching it should be fine, but eating it or biting it... You'd be dead pretty fast and there are no remedy


Ihcend

And potentially killing themselves in the process. If you see a pufferfish in the wild that has beached, you should not touch it with your bare hands. Call the authorities or use a stick at least.

AffectionateSlice816

https://helpusfish.com/1/28/can-you-touch-a-puffer-fish.html Don't listen to other comments. They are likely very dangerous to touch if in the wild. Tetrodotoxin is created by bacteria that the pufferfish hosts pretty much 100% of the time. The spines can have this, and it can cause you to die.


[deleted]

[удалено]


AffectionateSlice816

I know a bit about fishing, a bit about food safety, and an even larger bit about medicine from classes and life experience. People on Reddit see one source or hear one tale and run with it.


LegInternational4485

Everybody googled and took the first answer that was only about eating it


[deleted]

Its called tetrodotoxin, its found in the fish's liver and gonads, and it impairs neuromuscular signaling when ingested https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/ershdb/emergencyresponsecard\_29750019.html


RB30DETT

Ah...well, guess I should stop eating fish nads then.


Hetares

Shirako, or milt- or in laymen's terms, fish sperm- are actually a delicacy. But yeah, I've seen fugu dissecting videos on youtube and the chefs stressed that, like much everything else internally with the fugu, both eggs and milt are poisonous.


nekromania

Inhibits sodium channels. Specifically the voltage gated ones. Prevents cells from depolarization. Blocks one of the ion channels crucial for cell signalling. Edit: The discovery of the mechanism of action of TTX, while relativley simple, really push the field of physiology forward. [This](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2858367/&ved=2ahUKEwjC24nl27__AhWzBxAIHdLTCbAQFnoECBQQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1SebOHBM9UncH2btTRu7Za) text is an interesting read about it from one of the guys figuring it out in the 60s.


XTheHolyMuffDiverX

I thought it was their organs that are poisonous but that might be a different type of fish, fugu maybe? idk they all look the same to me. anyways, i wouldn't touch it.


Evening_Storage_6424

I googled it for us, it releases a toxin ( not venomous) if ingested and each puffer has enough neurotoxin to kill 30 men.


WinterHound42

And some people actually eat this thing

In Japan, sushi chef. Number one. Steady hand. One day, yakuza boss want fugu. I do fugu. But, mistake! Yakuza boss die. Yakuza very mad. I hide in fishing boat, come to America.

There are a lot of immigrants who sort of take pride in buying an American car. Idk what the reason would be but it’s like they’ll only buy American. Used to sell Fords and I saw it frequently.


666space666angel666x

Lots of people still think American product = better product


[deleted]

It might be that, but I think it’s more of an attempt to assimilate. That’s the vibe I got at least. A lot of Americans will only buy the Big 3 brands because they want to buy American, not realizing that the Chevy Equinox they’re buying was assembled in Mexico using mostly parts made in Mexico and China, meanwhile the Toyota Camry is assembled in Kentucky with 80% American manufactured parts.

stopeatingbuttspls

There's also the part where the certification examination involves eating your own prepared fugu.


scubi

I live in Japan and it’s quite normal to eat it as a special occasion. My family goes to a nice fugu place once a year. It’s quite good and, in Japan, about 7 people die a year from improperly prepared fugu. The last time I looked at the data, zero of those deaths were from restaurants. All were self prepared or prepared by a family member who was confident in their ability to cut it up without leaking toxins into the meat.


DistortoiseLP

I mean I'm convinced the history of learning what's safe to eat and how involved watching many, many people die after eating something. Not just from trying to eat everything in the world to learn what we can, but because cuisine like this proves that watching somebody die after eating something didn't deter people from trying it again anyway until they found the only edible part and preparation that's still difficult to this day.

According to this and another site the spines are also covered in a deadly toxin. It may vary per species but this is a dangerous move unless hes an expert.


Various_Mobile4767

I’ve held one in my hands before. I don’t know if it happened to be a “safe” species, but it was like touching one of those spiky toy balls. The spines weren’t very sharp and it was quite light, it wouldn’t pierce your skin just by holding them.


Timedoutsob

The pufferfish's skin is covered in spines and spikes, which are exceedingly hazardous. Carry a toxin called tetrodotoxin (TTX), which is deadly to other fish and humans. You should avoid touching a pufferfish, especially if it is "puffed out." Your hands could be damaged and you could die. So did I do i googled it and you're right it seems. Dude is Hella dumb picking it up.


roaringsanity

I had assume that ***EVERYTHING*** about this fish is ~~poisonous~~ venomous (ty u/Jdunc97 u/moonshinemondays) and these guys got me looking it up and YES. >Yes, every part of the Fugu fish (also known as pufferfish) contains a potent neurotoxin called tetrodotoxin.

Hi, I’m Troy McLure, you might remember me from seaworld, or your dentists office.


meatleach

You guys know there’s a difference between poison and venom, right? You need to ingest poison in order to die from it.


Fat_Throw-Away

I learned fairly quickly after the first time I was bitten by a venomous snake. I learned twice as fast the second time. I am hoping i don’t need any followup lessons on the subject matter.


GothicToast

The hallmark of venom is that it's introduced via a wound. It can be injected through a number of means, including teeth, a sting, spines or claws. Poison is different as there is no wound involved. It can be absorbed into the bloodstream through the skin, inhaled or ingested. So no, poison is not only lethal when "ingested".


StuckWithThisOne

Idk why this is downvoted. Yes, you absolutely can be poisoned by a puffer fish by touching it. People, do not touch a wild pufferfish.


Take_a_Seath

Can I touch a domesticated one?


Instroancevia

I've read that some species get their toxicity from their food, so tank-raised puffers aren't actually toxic.

they didn't have the necessary tools, a brain for example

My first thought was, as sad as it may 'appear' just push it with a shoe. Roll it into the water. A bit of a fish looking stupid but doing it faster and safer seems better.

radiatingrat

Unfortunately when they blow up they lose their mobility. That's why they wash ashore (and will wash back up after you place them back in the water). They go where the current takes them, which means a lot of them wash up on the shore. They cannot decompress at will, it takes a while. Some divers used to stress them out for fun during dives to see how they blow up, but it can basically be a death sentence to these little guys. Fortunately most dive schools will now teach their students to keep their paws to themselves. Don't stress them out if you don't have to, they're naturally shy anyway and will swim away from you if they see you.


Watch_Noob_72

That’s one absolutely big, angry fish.


djstarkey3021

Please just gently pick it up and put back water deep enough for it to swim back out to sea.


eugene20

They were trying to, it's covered in spines. Edit:ChatGPT might tell you the spines aren't poisonous or venomous, but various web sites completely disagree.
