[@myleslos9658]

Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent neurotoxin. Its name derives from Tetraodontiformes, an order that includes pufferfish, porcupinefish, ocean sunfish, and triggerfish; several of these species carry the toxin. Tetraodontiforms have highly modified skeletons, with no nasal, parietal, infraorbital, or (usually) lower rib bones. The bones of the jaw are modified and fused into a sort of "beak"; visible sutures divide the beaks into "teeth". This is alluded to in their name, derived from the Greek words tetra meaning "four" and odous meaning "tooth" and the Latin forma meaning "shape".

I'd make fun of the nettle kid, but I liked licking the circuit board that was just a watch battery and an LED that I took out of a cheap carnival toy when was young.

I haven't tried it myself, but I heard nettles are supposed to make a good salade with a slight minty taste. However one has to blanch them for a couple of minutes in hot water first.
