Marine Biotoxins and Health

Marine biotoxins are natural toxins produced by certain algae and microorganisms in the ocean. When seafood like shellfish ingest these toxins, they can accumulate and become harmful to humans who eat them. Consuming contaminated seafood may lead to health issues such as poisoning, gastrointestinal problems, neurological symptoms, or respiratory issues. It's important to monitor and control seafood intake from affected areas to prevent illness. Recognizing warning signs and adhering to public health advisories can help protect you from marine biotoxin-related health risks.
