Poisoning manifestations of sea rabbit toxin
1970, a food poisoning incident occurred in Fiji Island in the Pacific Ocean, which caused two people to eat Dolabella auricularia. This is the first report of human food poisoning caused by sea rabbits. Half an hour after eating the sea rabbit, the patient became ill, mainly manifested as tingling, fever, vomiting and diarrhea, followed by nervous system disorders such as spontaneous contraction, tremor and ataxia of the muscles of the face, limbs, hands and feet, and the most serious cases were dyspnea, extreme irritability and distorted vision. The patient finally recovered and was discharged from the hospital, but he had sequelae of spasm of the muscles in his mouth. Stallard and Faulkuer believe that sea rabbits can concentrate bromine, and various components of their digestive glands have been identified as brominated sesquiterpenes. Chronic bromine poisoning is characterized by ataxia, tremor and hallucination, and the half-life of bromine in plasma is as long as 12 d, so the food poisoning caused by sea rabbits may be a subacute organic bromine poisoning.
