Article Excerpts about Amnesic shellfish poisoning
Amnesic shellfish poisoning is a rare syndrome
caused by a toxin made by a microscopic, red-brown, salt-water
plant, or diatom called Nitzchia pungens. The toxin produced
by these diatoms is concentrated in shellfish such as mussels
and causes disease when the contaminated shellfish are eaten. (Source: excerpt from Marine Toxins: DBMD)
