Accepted Answer

Symptoms- fever (mild), general weakness, nausea, ab pain and jaundice (appears later) Linked from Ready-to-eat foods, shellfish from contaminated water.

Question 4

Norovirus (Norovirus gastroenteritis)- is often trasferred to food when infected food handlers touch food or equipment with fingers that have feces on them. It is VERY contagious, within a few hrs. after eating infected food.

Accepted Answer

Symptoms- vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, ab. cramps. Linked from Ready-to-eat food, shellfish from contaminated water.

Question 5

PARASITES
Anisakis simplex (anisakiasis)- from eating raw or undercooked fish containing parasite.

Accepted Answer

Symptoms- (will be more severe in people w/ weakened immune systems) watery diarrhea, ab.cramps, nausea, weight loss. Linked-contaminated water, produce.

Question 7

Giardia duodenalis (Giardisis)- can be found in feces of infected persons. Can be transfer to food when touched by fingers w/feces on them.

Accepted Answer

Symptoms- initially fever, later diarrhea, ab.cramps, nausea. Linked by incorrectly treated water, produce.

Question 8

Cyclospora cayetanensis (Cyclosporiasis)- has been associated w/produce irrigated or washed w/contaminated water. As well as found in feces of infected persons. Food handlers should be excluded from operations when they have diarrhea.

Accepted Answer

Symptoms- Nausea, cramps, mild fever, diarrhea alternating w/constipation, loss of appetite. Linked- incorrectly treated water, produce such as berries, lettuce, or basil.

Question 9

TOXINS
Histamine (Scombroid poisoning)- occurs when high levels of histamine in scombroid and other species of fish are eaten. When fish are time-temp abused, bacteria on fish make the toxin. Can NOT be destroyed by freezing, cooking, smoking or curing.

Accepted Answer

Symptoms- initially- reddening of the face and neck, sweating, headache, burning or tingling in mouth or throat. Possibly later- diarrhea, vomiting. Linked- tuna, Bonito, Mackerel, Mahimahi.

Question 10

Ciguatoxin (Ciguatera fish poisoning)- found in  some marine algae. Toxin builds up in certain fish when they eat smaller fish that have eaten the toxic algae. It CAN'T be detected by smell or taste. It is NOT eliminated by cooking or freezing the fish.

Accepted Answer

Symptoms- last months/years depend on how severe.Reversal of hot/cold sensations, nausea,vomiting,tingling fingers,lips,toes, joint/muscle pain.Linked-predatory tropical reef fish. In Barracuda, Grouper, Jacks, and Snapper.

Question 11

Saxitoxin (Paralytic shellfish poisoning)- shellfish can become contaminated as they filter toxic algae in water. Get sick when they eat these shellfish. Toxin can NOT be smelled or tasted.Can NOT be destroyed by cooking/freezing. Poss. death may result.

Accepted Answer

Symptoms- numbness,tingling in mouth, face, arms,legs. dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. Linked- shellfish in colder waters (Pacific, New England coasts)- in clams, mussels, oysters, scallops.

Question 12

Brevetoxin (Neurotoxic shellfish poisoning)- same as Saxitoxin

Accepted Answer

Symptoms- same as Saxitoxin except no nausea, but has reversal of hot/cold sensations. Linked- shellfish found in warmer waters (west coast FL, Gulf of MX)- Clams, mussels, oysters.

Question 13

Domoic Acid (Amnesic shellfish poisoning)- when they eat shellfish.

Accepted Answer

Symptoms- Initially vomiting, diarrhea, ab pain, possibily later have- confusion, memory loss, disorientation, seizure, coma. Linked- found in coastal waters (Pacific northwest, East coast of Canada)- Clams, mussels, oysters, scallops.
