Default Is it true that blow fish poison can kill you for a short period of time?

Just curious, I was watching an episode of CSI Miami and it dealt with stuff from Santeria, which I know some people believe in. However I never heard of this poison that the guy put on himself to make it seem like he died and then a couple hours later came back to life. Anyone know what that is or if it really is true?

Just curious, doesn't really matter to me if it's true or not. lol
Why do I ask?

Boredom and was just curious.

Only, if you intake enough of the toxins... and they dont mean litterally kill you but it can stop your heart... kind of like the poison from romeo and juliet

I have heard that it can put you in a coma but when I went to wikipedia to look it up it has been disputed apparently!

Nothing kills you for a short period of time. When you're dead, you're dead forever. There are medications that will absolutely put you into a state of "suspended animation" where respiration and heart rate are reduced and reflexes are absent. Since many of these medications are derivatives of naturally occurring substances, then I have no doubt there is native knowledge and use of the substance in its purest form. I can not supply a name of a substance or plant for you, though,.

it slows down your heart so you appear dead, but you aren't. there are a number of naturally occuring toxins in the world with this effect. It is dangerous because if you ingest too much it will actually kill you, or, if you're heart isn't strong enough to deal with the trauma of slowing so far down, it wont speed back up right and you'd have a heart attack.

If it kills you, it will probably be for a long period of time. Don't you think?
