Lethal dose for a human is about 0.5-2.0 mg when the toxin enters the body via food, and 0.05 mg of poisoning at the time of injection. In the case of aerosol the lethal dose for human being is 5 mg/min/m(3).

There is no specific antidote for STX and TTX. It is recommended supportive treatment. (© 2015 MEDPRESS.)
