An informative and entertaining story Johnny, glad you're still with us.
A couple of general comments:
There's a lot of discussion here about tetrodotoxin. The symptoms described are not typical of TTX, but rather of other poisons. People poisoned by TTX tend to lay on the floor, staring at the ceiling unable to breathe...until they die. Alkaloids tend to interfere with nerve function, causing loss of feeling or control of various functions. Peptides may interfere with digestion or other functions. For symptoms as strong as described, TTX would have been fatal [again, not the same symptoms though].
Toxins, being chemical compounds, have a system of naming. They are typically named after the organism they are discovered in:
Samandarine -
Salamandra
Epibatidine -
Epipedobates
Histrionicotoxin -
Oophaga histrionica
Pumiliotoxin -
Oophaga pumilio
Batrachotoxin -
Phyllobates [an amphibian, or 'batrachos' in Greek]
Bufotoxin, Bufotenine, Bufodienoline - Bufonidae
Tarichatoxin [TTX] -
Taricha
Zetekitoxin [TTX] -
Atelopus zeteki
Tetrodotoxin [TTX] -
Tetraodon fugu
Botulinotoxin -
Clostridium botulinum
Strychnine -
Strychnos
Tetanospasmin, Tetanolysin -
Clostridium tetani
Often, these toxins are found in other organisms later, so the name doesn't mean they're restricted to the species they were found in.
Suitable names in this case might include one or more of :
Neurergine, Neurergotoxin, Kaiserine, and Kaisertoxin.
Just plain noxious compounds, in the tradition of spermine, cadaverine, and putrescine, might be called "diarhaeine" or "vomitine"
Some of the earliest additions to my library of scientific papers were sent to me by John Myers, John Daly, and colleagues, back when I was grinding up
Mantella skins.
