It's getting harder and harder to eat well, or to even eat safely. Recently we've had to deal with spinach recalls, salad bar contaminations, meat recalls, and today, the FDA is warning us not to eat fish from certain parts of the Gulf of Mexico.
Several outbreaks of ciguatera fish poisoning have been reported around the U.S., and it seems to be coming from grouper, snapper, amberjack and barracuda caught near the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary, an area of 56 square miles in the northwestern Gulf.
The Sanctuary is one of 14 federally designated underwater areas protected by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Marine Sanctuary Program. It is located 70 to 115 miles off the coasts of Texas and Louisiana.
Symptoms of ciguatera poisoning include nausea, vomiting, vertigo and joint pain. In more serious cases, patients suffer neurological problems that can last several months or even years.

You know the symptoms can last from weeks to years, and in extreme cases as long as 20 years, often leading to long-term disability
