What is Scombroid Poisoning?

salmon was the cause. I still have hives a week later even with a Benadryl shot and pills.  | Symptoms: Headache, Fatigue, Skin Rash

Yesterday, my husband and I ate on Simpli Coffee & Kitchen Avenida on Large da Anunciada 20, and my husband was poisoned by Tuna. He caught Scombroid and we had to run to the pharmacy to get Cetirizine to cure his reaction. I left them a review on Google and they had it deleted.  | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Other

Also we have pictures of your General Manager walking his poodle and black lab with this face showing clearly as if you remember i have a very expensive camber,he is walking right by the signs on the beack that clearly states NO DODS ALLOWED ON THE BEACH, We have him mant times walking and pictures of his dog decicateing ,which means Shiting in the beach and peeing on the beach up and down the beach in the direction of the large rock out croping and I am going to turn all my pictures in because of how your general manager treated us in the lobby yelling and screaming like a lunitic,mad man out of control who had lost his mind as my gf and i sat in chairs posing no threat to him untill he got so agressive i felt he was a threat of injureing myself or m y gfwe kept quiet as he ranted and raved as we were scared to deathto this insane man,Finially We had had enough .I am very calm natured but can only be pushed so far and being a former heavyweight professional Boxer retired,I stood up out of my chair there is cctc camera footage of this unless they got rid of it,I stood in his face as he continued to rant and rave like a lunitic who lost his mind saying in 27 years no ones been poisoined in his resturant,which I do know is a lie,I can show you in five mion utes on google and along with the other lady watching in the lobby who stayed the same week as us he husband ate the tune and became very ill and had to stay in his room also,We have her name address and she would be glad to corroberate everything that happened and how this man ttreated us your General manager.I was waiting for your General Manager who was pointing his finger in my face to touch me.as i stood calmly in front of him.I had concerned of his hurting my 5 ft gf which would have been a big mistake for him as she is a kick boxing instructor,by then all your employees had gathered in the main reception center,all we asked for was our medical bills to be reimbursed we are not greedy people but are still sick from this ,I bet if you ever got to take the time to know us you would find out we are some of the most honest people you ever me,I managed 2 million american dollar store 18 years successfully my employees loved my i managed another1milion american dollar store,plus another smaller one in 37 years i have never ever been treated by a General Manager in any store in any country in the world sir .I am a work traveler I do free lance Magazine articals for major travel magizines.When I book hotels,resorts I do not reveal who I an so i get the true story of your resorts.Its not my to say or report bad articals,my job is to report whats good about these resorts so people come and enjoy them thats what sells magizinines.The only think I have unfortuntatly to report about your restnot very pleasent and thats the part of my job I really do not like to report.but theres so much bad treatemnt other than your wonderful i rate 10+ philippino staff who by all means should all recieve commendation .Maybe if the real owner employed a Respectiable Philippino Resort manageryou would not have so mant disgusting bad reports on hoitels.com and many other sites,The only one you have 5 stars on is Agoda.com who allows the hotels to add there own star ratings to there adds which is borderline fraud,just read the very small print and disclaimer from Agoda which says they leave it up to the hotels to live up to there ratings.

Since we know all the proper authoritys,News papers,Magazines,Health Depts, or the proper islands and we have hired Publicity agencys to post mant sighns,warnings as we have the prooffrom the doctor and other doctors if he would like to contest his own findings when we were brought in and if he wants all of his staff dragged in to court,alsong with anyone in the resturantwho saw us all three days in the resturant in the Ambassasdor eating our first 3 dayswe have all reciepts for th water,cokes and ice tea we bought the first dat of our arrival we are not new to the philippinnes and know not to drink the water and all the other excuses your General Manager made trying to get out of his responsibility for paying out small medical bills which had he treated us like a decent humba beings like we are im a world class bussinessman,you tried to intimindate and bullythe wrong man this time telling me to get out of your hotel id already paid for my rooms in ,and what did i tell you,I said im not going any where and it is people like you who give such a fine resort as the ambassador our second stay there such a bad name all over the world,you the General manager do nothing,and I mean nothing there I know what a General Managers job is,Your on nothing more than a paid vacation .in the morning he walks down eats his free breakfest,waslks back to his roomlater he walks his dogs where it is not legal to walk them because people lay on the beach where his dogs shit and piss and there kids play and oh please doubt he on this i have proofevery day 3 times a daythats 21 shits and pisses a week 100 a month do you want to lay in that! have your kids plays in it he walks right by the sign that says no dogs on the beach he would have to be a blind man to not see it and it have his face and dogs after that he puts his dogs in a 2x2 steel cage in the sun with no food or water where all your guests see it and look in horror in his befalf once in a while he puts a very tiny planget on top of the cage,The pool needs chlorine in it by wife caught some kind of skin infection we can take pictures of it if you like,Your secure room safes are secxured with two very small wood screws to the back of the clothing cabinet our was so loose there was no senses in putting anything in it ,There are no phones in the rooms what if someone comes in the room to commit a rape or crime ,We came fromthe USA and other countrys to stay at the Ambassador for 9 lovely days and it was the absolutle worst nightmayer I have ever experienced in 50 years of traveling and writing for travel magizines,I know recently You recieved a great Write up from Time magizine,but aparently they did not go in the water to experience the trash,plastic etc,maybe you should have a look the beachs looked nice but the water was a trash dump
The ambassador in parasdise has cctc footage i will ask for it but im sure they will not release it with out an atty they have footage of in the resturand and it the office when the general manager was going nuts and threatening us,also the doctor has said he is conducting an investigation in to it but it has been several weeks which makes me belive since he was supposed to send us a copy we have heard nothing from Ambassador in paradise or the doctor emergency clinicwe think they are covering up what happened to us since they kept asking when are you leaving which was the 9th of aug I think thats plenty of time to conduct an investigation ,We also have plenty of paperwork wwwe will forward to you from the doctor stateing the tuna caused it,I will get with my gf tomotrro to get that ,they the doctor also claimed we drank water sometime in the last 14 weeks at some place and thats what made us sick,I said you mean we drank water at sometimes in the last 14 weeks that was bad then we both happened to be eating tuna in the same resturant at the same time and both got sick from food poisonion ,Im going to tell you what is going on here and when we confronted the doctor he had no way to back outthis clinic is not far from the ambassador in paradise i think the doc and General mgr are friends when we first arrived at the clinic he tolf us we both were sich from histimine poisoning from the tuna they server us there he told us he had even been sich from it a few days eariler so he knew exactly what was wrong,then he told my gf you are so lucky when you were unconcious that you womited all of it up out of your stomack or you would be in real troublelater there was another meeting at our hotel room with the doctor and hotel represenatives who tried to say we had bad water sometimes in 14 weeks then we both got sich at the same time in there resturant eating turn? bullshit,my gf is a 58 year old filipina and does not drink any water here and im 5 months here and drink bottled water only we showed the doctor and hotel reresentatives our friege full of bottled water ,canned cokes and ice tea bottled the first 3 dats we ate only in there resturant check the cashier reciepts or if we paid with credit card reciepts we will show you them i forgot how we paid plus there is cctc cameras in the resturant after they almost killed my gf we never ate there again and ate at hennan and never ever got sickagain after we recovered 5 days later,I asked the resturand manager where he got his tuna he said local fishermen tuna has to be kept cold or it developes histimine poisoning which can kill you! In this heat in the philippinnes tuna goes bad very fasd ice mels incredicably fast and ice is very expensive.P lease send m e another message and ill have all the papers together these people also when we asked how much for one med load of laundry they said oh we cant tell you its charged by the weight so we figured ok we dont have much go ahead they came back with a billof about $120.00 american or 6747.54 pesos i think it was for one medium load of cloths.this this General manager walks his two dogs a poodle and black lab right past the no dogs on the beach signs and allows them to shit and pee where his guests lay 3 times a day or more 7 days a week ,Id provide more hard copy information but we are still recovering from food poisoning from that ambassador in paradise and have been to an additional doctor,But trust me i have pictures of his dogs doing there bussiness right by the signs and his smileing along with paperwork from the doctor that states the tuna salad after it was consumed by my gf made her violently sick with in minutes i ate a smaller tuna takai but was sick after we were rushed by hiotel staff lights flashing horn blowing thru town at high speed as no one knew what was wrong then we all thought my gf was dying  | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Fever

my hotel room nearby and within minutes of arrival began to feel unwell. My head was turning and I felt dizzy and lay on the bed gasping for breath.

I tried to get up but just couldn’t. Waves of nausea descended and my heart was beating fast, which I later discovered is a potentially life threatening condition, called tachycardia.

Eventually and with great difficulty, I managed to reach for the bedside phone and called for help. Ten minutes later, I was in an ambulance headed to the Emergency Room at the Mater Dei hospital.

The doctor in charge of my case, on hearing that I had eaten Lampuki fish, diagnosed Scombroid poisoning.

Scombroid is a not uncommon cause of food poisoning that results from the inferior handling and preparation of raw fish such as the Lampuki.

I was injected with an antihistamine and placed on a drip.

Within a few hours I was released from hospital still feeling shaken and rotten. I returned to my hotel and slept for the next 14 hours. On waking I still felt shaky.

Although I have recovered physically, I still suffer nightmares as a result of the memories of panic induced by the Scombroid poisoning.

I have reported this matter to them and requested compensation.

I supplied them with a medical report but I have heard nothing positive despite writing to them several times. I have not even received an apology.
