At the bottom of the ocean, there are brine pools that have a salinity level three - eight times the usual sea level. When a Cutthroat eel gets too close it goes into toxic shock and is lucky to make it out alive.

The statement "Eel suffers toxic shock" lacks specific context and details to provide a clear response. Eels, like any organism, can be susceptible to various environmental factors or pollutants that may impact their health. Without further information, it's challenging to determine the exact cause and nature of the eel's supposed toxic shock.
