Fifty incidents of scombrotoxic fish poisoning affecting nearly 200 people have been reported in Britain, the majority in 1979. Increased consumption of mackerel, inadequate storage conditions, and more general clinical recognition of the condition are considered responsible for the rise in outbreaks. Though the illness is generally not serious, it may be alarming and unpleasant and is totally preventable by proper attention to principles of hygiene at all stages of production, distribution, and storage.
在英国已报告了50起影响近200人的鲭鱼中毒事件,大部分发生在1979年。鲭鱼消费量增加、储存条件不佳以及对该病更普遍的临床认识被认为是疫情上升的原因。尽管这种疾病通常不严重,但可能令人担忧且不适,通过在生产、分销和储存的各个阶段适当关注卫生原则,是完全可以预防的。
