This case warns about to the possibility of a very harmful toxin, which comes from fish introduced to the European coast. Safety regulations should to be defined in other to detect and prevent it. Therefore, TTX intoxication should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute paralysis. In this case, the neurophysiologic examination provided the earliest arguments for a peripheral-nerve involvement suggestive of this diagnosis. Biochemical studies should, of course, be performed in order to confirm the presence of TTX, but they require more time, all the more as biological samples need to be sent to other specialized laboratories.
