That pic of the Fugusashi is one I have seen before and continues to be very appetizing. I don't think I would want someone with less artistry preparing mine, so the expense would be expected.

More interesting to me though is that there is now research underway using the toxin to treat severe cases of chronic pain that have been unresponsive to current pharmaceuticals. It had to be a brave and desperate person to be one of the first volunteers to test it.


Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life.
