2 History Puffer Fish Delicious food in Japan fugu Poisonous For Japanese and Egyptians Millennia For Europeans 1727 A History of Japan Published by Dutch physician Englebert Kaempfer 2

3 History Having no suspicion of its being of a poisonous nature, we ordered [the fish]to be dressed for supper; but very luckily, the operation of drawing and describing took up so much time that it was too late, so that only the liver and row were dressed, of which [we] did but taste. About three o clock in the morning, we found ourselves seized with an extraordinary weakness and numbness all over our limbs. I had almost lost the sense of feeling; nor could I distinguish between light and heavy bodies of such as I had strength to move, a quart pot, full of water, and a feather being the same in my hand. A Voyage Toward the South Pole and Around the World Captain James Cook 3
