Best Answer

Yes you can, Puffer's toxin evolved as a response to aquatic predators such as larger fish, rather than for use against humans. Although a puffers toxin can kill humans. Note also, not all puffers are poisonous; Takifugu oblongus, for example, is one of the fugu puffers that is not poisonous. However, it should be noted that puffer's neurotoxin is not necessarily as toxic to other animals as it is to humans, and puffers are eaten routinely by some species of fish, such as lizardfish and tiger sharks
