Mahi mahi poisoning, also known as ciguatera fish poisoning, occurs after consuming mahi mahi contaminated with toxins produced by dinoflagellates. These toxins can accumulate in larger fish that feed on smaller fish, leading to gastrointestinal and neurological symptoms in humans, such as nausea, vomiting, and tingling sensations. While the symptoms can be severe, they are typically not life-threatening. Prevention involves avoiding consumption of mahi mahi caught in areas known for ciguatera outbreaks.
