Ichthyohemotoxism is poisoning that results from eating fish that contain the substance, ichthyohemotoxin. Ichthyohemotoxin is the poisonous substance in the blood of certain fishes. Ichthyohemotoxism comes from the Greek word "ichthys" meaning "fish," the Greek word "haima" meaning "blood," and the Greek word "toxikon" meaning "poison." Put the words together and you get "fish blood poison."
