Mad Cook Fugu

Madventures in Tokyo, Japan.
Mad Cook meets Fugu, pufferfish.
Following is quote from wikipedia:
"Fugu contains lethal amounts of the poison tetrodotoxin in the internal organs, especially the liver and ovaries, and also the skin. The poison, a sodium channel blocker, paralyzes the muscles while the victim stays fully conscious, and eventually dies from asphyxiation. Currently, there is no known antidote, and the standard medical approach is to try to support the respiratory and circulatory system until the poison wears off."

Tetrodotoxin antidote is that victim's stomach must be emptyed and then after that give him activated charcoal. Why did Tunna have that kind of reaction
