Thus the CPR, I would imagine.

Does it just automatically restart beating after effects wear off?

I would personally imagine that you may need to be defibrillated at some point but otherwise probably yes? The toxins are causing the paralysis and people do survive it so I can only imagine that the heart takes back over after a certain amount of effort. Otherwise, I don't actually know.

You might need external/transesophageal pacing with a severe exposure to TTX, but that would only be temporary. It shouldn't cause v fib.

Gotcha! My brain did the "heart stop = defibrillator" thing. Thanks!
