The organism that causes red tide in the seas around Manila Bay, bataan, and Sambales is the Pyromidium bahamense var. Compressum. Red tide is a common name for a phenomenon more correctly known as an algal bloom, an event in which estuarine, marine, or fresh water algae accumulate rapidly in the water column. The toxin of red tide is not totally destroyed upon cooking hence consumers must be educated to avoid bi-valve mollusks

A syndrome of characteristic symptoms predominantly
neurologic which occur within minutes or several hours after
ingestion of poisonous shellfish. Causative organism:
Single celled organism called dinoflagellates (less than
30 kinds out of about 2000 varieties become poisonous after heavy rainfall preceded by prolonged summer). It is commonly referred to as plankton. The organism that causes red tide in the seas around Manila Bay, Samar, Bataan, and Sambales is the Pyromidium bahamense var. compressum. Mode of Transmission:
Ingestion of raw or inadequately cooked seafood usually
bi-valve shellfish or mollusks during the red tide season. Incubation Period: Varies from about 30 minutes to several hours after ingestion of poisonous shellfish. Signs and Symptoms: Numbness of the face especially around the mouth Vomiting and dizziness Headache Tingling sensation, paresthesia and eventual paralysis of hands and feet Floating sensation and weakness Rapid pulse Difficulty of speech(ataxia) and difficulty swallowing(dysphagia) Total muscle paralysis w/respiratory arrest and death occur in severe cases. Shellfish affected by red tide must not be cooked with vinegar as the toxin of Pyromidium increases (15 times greater) when mixed with acid.
Toxin of red tide is not totally destroyed upon
cooking hence consumers must be educated to avoid bi-valve mollusks such as tahong, talaba, halaan, kabiya, abaniko (sun and moon shell or Asian scallop) when the red tide warning has been issued by the proper authorities. Management and Control Measures:
No definite medication indicated
Induce vomiting Drinking pure coconut milk weakens the toxic effect of red tide sodium bicarbonate solution (25 grams in ½ glass of water maybe taken). Drinking of coconut milk and sodium bicarbonate solution is advised during the early stage of poisoning only. If given during the late stage, they make the condition of the pt. worse. Red tide Red tide is a common name for a phenomenon more correctly known as an algal bloom, an event in which estuarine, marine, or fresh water algae accumulate rapidly in the water column. These algae, more specifically phytoplankton, are single-celled protists, plant-like organisms that can form dense, visible patches near the water's surface. Certain species of phytoplankton, such as Dinoflagellate, contain photosynthetic pigments that vary in colour from green to brown to red. Some red tides are associated with the production of natural toxins, depletion of dissolved oxygen or other harmful effects, and are generally described as harmful algal blooms. The most conspicuous effects of red tides are the associated wildlife mortalities among marine and coastal species of fish, birds, marine mammals and other organisms. In the case of Florida red tides, these mortalities are caused by exposure to a potent neurotoxin called brevetoxin which is produced naturally by the marine algae Karenia brevis.
