Harvesting closure off Vancouver Island's west coast due to Shellfish contamination
1 year ago
British Columbia, Canada
The Department of Fisheries and Oceans has issued an emergency closure for shellfish harvesting off Vancouver Island's west coast and are warning the public not to harvest shellfish near Barkley Sound, off Vancouver Island's west coast, due to contamination.
According to the news, the intense rain following a lengthy drought in the area has created health and safety risks, including the possibility of paralytic shellfish poisoning.
If you have recently harvested in the area should not consume them, contaminated shellfish do not necessarily smell, taste or look different than uncontaminated shellfish, and cooking shellfish does not destroy all biotoxins.
In case you are experiencing Paralytic shellfish poisoning symptoms such as tingling, numbness of the lips, mouth, face, arms and legs, dizziness, weakness, paralysis and respiratory failure, seek immediate medical attention. Paralytic shellfish poisoning symptoms start quickly, median time between ingestion and onset is 1 hour (between 30 minutes to 3 hours). Progression and intensity of symptoms vary with the intensity of the toxin poisoning. In severe cases, muscle paralysis, respiratory failure and death can occur within 12 hours.

Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
In case you are experiencing Salmonella symptoms, 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. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.
