#ChiefResident blog #NoonConference #meded Ciguatera Poisoning encountered during a #ruralhealth #primarycare rotation in Hawai'i! imrespdx.com/imrespdx-blog/…
Most cases in Hawaii come from recreational catches rather than fish bought in markets #NoonConference #meded
#NoonConference #meded
No way to identify ciguatoxic fish by look, color, smell, taste or texture
Toxins not destroyed or inactivated by cooking, canning, drying, freezing, or smoking
Don’t eat reef fish or fish that feed on reef fish
#NoonConference #meded
If you eat it, don’t eat the internal organs, head, or eggs-- Ciguatoxin can be 100x more concentrated in these parts of the fish
Severity of illness is directly related to amount of toxin eaten
