[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU EVER EAT REEF FISH IN THE CARIBBEAN.

This could save you many, maaaaany years of pain and suffering.

What is a reef fish?[/quote]

Fish like sea bass, some types of eels, grouper, barracuda, etc..[/quote]

I’ve eaten sea bass and grouper more times than I can count, including IN the Caribbean, and it’s on every seafood menu in America. I don’t personally know anyone that’s gotten sick from it.

Why are you saying it’s dangerous? That doesn’t sound correct.[/quote]

It is correct.

Symptoms can last for weeks up to 20 years. Unlucky people describe numbness, tingling, and lack of being able to feel hot and cold.  Uncontrollable itchiness at times and even pain. It could basically be a lifetime of misery if you are unlucky just once and eat the wrong fish.
