ORIGINAL: Level Thanks, ladies. At least I'm feeling much better now. Level...in all seriousness, you need to contact the health dept and tell them where you had the shrimp. It may not be a matter of sloppy handling by the restaurant, but could be the seafood was obtained from contaminated waters. As to avoiding seafood from here on in. I looked it up and it is dependent on the type of poisoning you had...and i assume you don't know. ~~~~~~~~~~~~The widely disparate symptoms make ciguatera poisoning difficult to understand. Symptoms may be more serious in subsequent exposures and with ingestion of alcohol, nuts, and co-ingestion of other noncontaminated fish. The effects of ciguatera may persist for years.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ from http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1011549-overview i think it is safe to assume that since the effects of certain seafood poisonings can last for an extended period of time, a second ingestion of contaminated seafood would be very very serious...hence avoiding it altogether
