What is Neurotoxic Shellfish Poisoning Guide about?
Neurotoxic Shellfish Poisoning (NSP) is caused by consuming shellfish contaminated with brevetoxins from the dinoflagellate Karenia brevis, primarily found in the Gulf of Mexico. Symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea, paresthesia, and in severe cases, respiratory distress, with onset occurring within hours of consumption. There is no specific treatment, and prevention involves avoiding shellfish from closed harvesting areas due to red tide blooms.
