She was someone who could separate the cowpox virus and save thousands of lives from a pandemic, the toxic organs were like a child play to her. 

Tetrodotoxin is found primarily in the liver, ovaries, intestines, and skin of the pufferfish, the rest of the flesh was safe to eat, although the taste was not that great. She always thought the customers lined up because of the rarity and adrenalin, but the fish itself was plain and flavourless.

With a steady hand, the scalpel sliced through the tender body. Each of her movements was a joy to watch and the old man was amazed by the confidence she displayed in the face of death.
