Ciguatera And ServSafe: A Public Health Emergency?
This paper is a general review of cfp including the human health effects of exposure to ciguatoxins (ctxs), diagnosis, human pathophysiology of cfp, treatment, detection of ctxs. We review the literature on the treatments for cfp, including randomized controlled studies and anecdotal reports. The article is intended to clarify treatment options, and provide information. More than twenty precursor gambiertoxins and ciguatoxins have been identified in the dinoflagellate gambierdiscus toxicus and in herbivorous and carnivorous fish. Ciguatera, or fish poisoning, is an illness caused by eating fish containing certain toxins.
To help fda effectively investigate, remove unsafe seafood products from the market, and develop new prevention strategies, the fda relies on illness reporting from first responders,. Ciguatera fish poisoning (cfp) is a foodborne illness affecting humans worldwide. Humans acquire this illness by eating reef fish containing the naturally occurring toxins, ciguatoxins. We propose the usage of the combination of gastrointestinal symptoms and paraesthesia in the light of a recent intoxication event for early detection of ciguatera poisoning (cp) in the eastern.
