Scombroid poisoning

This fish is known to be scombrotoxic. I'm going to try to find some links later on to some information about it, but if someone can beat me to it, that's fine. Willbyr (talk | contribs) 17:42, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Merge

Oppose: While the two fish may cause the same gastrointestinal symptoms, they are separate species in separate genera and IMO are deserving of separate articles. Willbyr (talk | contribs) 14:36, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

I put up the merge suggestion because I had thought they were the same species. I'll delete it.99DBSIMLR 18:07, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

I removed the merge proposition seeing it was a misunderstanding Kare Kare 16:28, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Orlando Sentinel restaurant customer complaint

I read in the Orlando Sentinel today a brief complaint from a consumer who was livid at being served this fish in an upscale restaurant and experienced bowel distress. She or He said to go to WIkipedia and look up ESCOLAR and prepare to be disgusted. This is much worse than I imagined the problem to be. I love fish both as animals and food but the oily anal leakage, could it be harmful to say the elderly?Skipdownthestreet 19:22, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

I would say its just as harmful to everyone who eats it but i suppose if you had a preexisting bowel problem it might cause even more trouble. Although there is a fairly simple solution. DON'T EAT IT! I guess its symptms are pretty bad, but at least you don't die like if you eat toadfish, puferfish, boxfish etc.Kare Kare 02:05, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

READ some FACTS first please. I've been using this for a long time.

Then again, in the right hands toadfish, boxfish and pufferfish can be prepared so as not to kill you when you eat them. Kare Kare 00:21, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

In addition, the link you provide has been cited in the references to the article for some time now, so it is not missing. People can read it and the other references cited in the article when researching this fish. emjaycue 13:17, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

First hand account of side effects

I've had it as sushi and it does melt in your mouth. I barely made it home that night before I got sick. I don't have my gall bladder, so I attributed the episode to that and didn't think anything of it... Until, one afternoon, I was in an asian market and got the 'white tuna' (flash frozen) to make sushi and some grilled fish with it. The portions were about 2 pieces of nigiri each and a grilled piece about the size of a pack of cards. We were both 'sick' within 15 minutes. After that, I found out about the laxative like qualities of the fish and won't eat it again. MikeSims (talk) 21:56, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Citation

This article is sorely lacking in citation for the claims it makes. Please inline citations and find additional citations. I'll avoid tagging specific lines, but really, all statistics and medical material needs it. ThuranX (talk) 03:40, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Simple update to oily bowel movements

I changed the phrase "Oily bowel Movements" to "bright orange oil in stool" and it was reverted as vandalism. Why? Its more descriptive and would allow people who are freaking out about orange oil in there stool to better understand why that is happening after eating white tuna at a sushi place. How is better describing what happens after eating this fish not constructive??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.58.89.34 (talk) 23:36, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Quote from source: "To make matters worse, the anal leakage from Escolar is a Orange colored oil that pools up in the rectum and causes frequent bowel movements." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.58.89.34 (talk) 02:31, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
