Warning signs will be placed around a section of the Swan River to deter people from fishing, after authorities discovered elevated levels of potentially toxic microscopic algae.If consumed, the toxins could produce food poisoning and muscular paralysisThe WA Department of Health is advising people not to eat fish, crabs or shellfish collected from waters extending from the Old Swan Brewery, Mounts Bay Road and upstream to the Garret Road Bridge.
It said this included the commonly known areas of Perth Waters, Elizabeth Quay, Barrack Street Jetty and Claisebrook Cove.Acting environmental health executive director Michael Lindsay said ingesting toxins produced by the detected microscopic algae, Alexandrium spp, could produce a type of food poisoning known as paralytic shellfish poisoning .
"These algae, which are not visible by the naked eye, can produce a toxin which could be absorbed by filter-feeding shellfish and potentially consumed by crabs, and finfish to a lesser extent," Dr Lindsay said.Symptoms of poisoning include tingling or numbness of the lips, prickliness of the fingertips and toes, nausea or vomiting, impaired balance, dizziness, slurred speech, double vision, weakness, difficulty in swallowing or breathing, loss of fluids and diarrhoea.
That’s a little bit scary!
