    The most common fish food poisonings are scombroid and ciguatera. Scombroid is caused by improperly handling of fish producing histamine-releasing bacteria. Symptoms can occur as quickly as 15 mins. Ciguatera is common with tropical and sub-tropical fish and typically causes hot-cold reversal.

    Listeria is a type of bacterium that can cause a serious infection known as listeriosis. This bacterium is hardy and can tolerate conditions that many other foodborne bacteria cannot, such as cold temperatures and salty environments. It can be found in a variety of foods including raw or under-pasteurized milk, smoked fish, meats, cheeses, and raw vegetables. Symptoms of listeriosis include fever, headaches, and body aches. Serious forms of the disease can also lead to neurological complications and maternal or fetal damage in pregnant women.

    In case you are experiencing Listeria monocytogenes symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, 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.
