| neurotoxic shellfish poisoning |
A human neurological disease caused by the ingestion of toxic marine shellfish (filter-feeding bivalves). Symptoms are similar to those of ciguatera poisoning and include temperature reversal sensations, as well as headache, chills, and muscle and joint pain (Hallegraeff 1995, Steidinger 1993). Cases have been reported from the southeast US and eastern Mexico (Steidinger 1993).
