Chronic ciguatera fish poisoning

From MEpedia, a crowd-sourced encyclopedia of ME and CFS science and history

Chronic Ciguatera Fish Poisoning (CCFG) or Ciguatera fish poisoning is also known as ichthyosarcotoxism is a type of food poisoning caused by eating fish contaminated with the toxin ciguatoxin.[1] Chronic ciguatera fish poisoning has been found to cause almost identical symptoms to chronic fatigue syndrome.[1][2][3] It is classed as a rare disease.[1]

Ciguatoxin[edit | edit source]

Ciguatoxin is a toxin found in some tropical and subtropical fish, and cannot be inactivated by any form of cooking.[1]
