Oysters containing high levels of Vibrio parahaemolyticus, if raw, can induce illness, with more severe reactions in those with compromised immune systems. Despite potential contamination, products carrying Vibrio parahaemolyticus typically appear, smell, and taste normal. Do not consume the affected oysters.
In case you are experiencing vibrio symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, fever, and chills, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance.
