Interesting..
I found this on some website journal comment and found it interesting.

And I quote...

"Odd knowledge like this that can save lives needs to be more widely known.

Here's my tidbit contribution: If you ever get poisoned eating Fugu (blowfish) at one of those rare sushi bars that serve it, have a designated non-fugu eating person keep doing CPR on you; the poison only paralyzes you temporarily. People who die of fugu poisoning die of suffocation and lack of oxygen to the brain because of the temporary paralysis of the diaphram and heart, but they remain conscious as they slip away trapped in a body they cannot move. If you keep doing CPR on the person, the poison will eventually wear off (though how long that takes is a matter of dosage and body mass; upt to several hours). If you give up, your fugu-ingesting friend would have died an unnecessary death."

I tried to research whether or not this was true and found nothing x_X
If someone can verify this fact I'd appreciate it ^_^

What annoys me the most about those "little facts" that you sometimes get by e-mail is the fact that you can't easily verify them: as such, I don't really consider them as valid unless I learn otherwise from a reliable source.

I usually check www.snopes.com to see if they can verify it or debunk it.
