Outbreaks of Ciguatera Fish Poisoning
Poison the oceans and the fish will poison you! It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out. Does it?
Outbreaks of ciguatera fish poisoning have been confirmed by the Food and Drug Administration. Fish such as amberjack, barracuda, grouper and snapper represent the most significant threat to consumers because they feed on fish that have eaten toxic marine algae. Symptoms of ciguatera poisoning include nausea, vomiting, vertigo and joint pain. In the most serious cases, neurological problems can last for months or even years.
