abstract="The California Department of Health, reports that 5 of 8 persons who ate mussels became Ill from 2 to 10 hours later. The general symptoms were numbness, and a tingling sensation around the mouth. One patient who was severely ill had paralysis of the arms and legs. Laboratory examination of a vomitus specimen from one patient showed it contained a toxin. Along the ocean shore line of California mussels may be toxic during certain months, usually May through October. A quarantine has been established of all mussels along the shore prohibiting the taking of mussels from this area except for fish bait, effective from May 1 to October 31, 1954. Mussels from one county showed no toxin early in July but when tested later at the end of August, there was a high toxin content.",
