With the "holiday season" approaching and a huge influx of tourists from all over the world, it is useful for all salt-water-fish-eaters to remember/be aware of this problem in the Caribbean & elsewhere. While Dominican Doctors are aware of ciguatera symptoms/immediate treatment required, few Canadian/American/European Doctors are knowledgable in this regard.
It behooves us to assist those with pertinent symptoms, so that they may get proper treatment in the DR and on their return to their home-country.
There is a wealth of data in the DR1 Archives and especially at Ciguatera: Fish Poisoning - The name may be difficult to remember. But if you get this disease, you'll never forget it
NB! There is now an emergency "Hotline" 305-361-4619 (or 305-661-0774)
