Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent neurotoxin found in pufferfish and other marine life that works by blocking voltage-gated sodium channels. However, the question, 'Is tetrodotoxin reversible?', requires a closer look at the difference between its action at the cellular level and the management of a severe human poisoning case.
