An individual, limited edition, example of vinyl art made from a genuine, original, 45rpm, 7” single featuring the  single, Bad Medicine by Bon Jovi. The record was released in 1988, on the Phonogram record label and has been reworked into the shape of a toxic puffer fish. The design was inspired by the  Tetrodotoxin poison within the fish which is an extremely potent neurotoxin. It causes paralysis by blocking voltage-gated sodium channels, potentially leading to fatal respiratory failure. There is no known antidote

A great framed gift for a friend or family member who is a fan of Bon Jovi, American Rock, Medicine, Research, Toxic Fish or has a special memory linked to the song.

The Puffer Fish – The Shape

This record has been crafted into a toxic puffer fish. Tetraodontidae is a family of marine and freshwater fish in the order Tetraodontiformes. The family includes many familiar species variously called pufferfishes, puffers, balloonfishes, blowfishes, blowers, blowies, bubblefishes, globefishes, swellfishes, toadfishes, toadies, botetes, toadle, honey toads, sugar toads, and sea squabs. They are morphologically similar to the closely related porcupinefish, which have large external spines (unlike the thinner, hidden spines of the Tetraodontidae, which are only visible when the fish have puffed up). The majority of pufferfish species are toxic, with some among the most poisonous vertebrates in the world. In certain species, the internal organs, such as the liver, and sometimes the skin, contain mucus tetrodotoxin, and are highly toxic to most animals when eaten; nevertheless, the meat of some species is considered a delicacy in Japan when prepared by specially trained chefs who know which part is safe to eat and in what quantity. 

Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is an extremely potent neurotoxin found in marine animals like puffer fish, blue-ringed octopuses, and some amphibians, often produced by symbiotic bacteria. It causes paralysis by blocking voltage-gated sodium channels, potentially leading to fatal respiratory failure. There is no known antidote; treatment is supportive.
