Quinault Tribe recalls 29 tons of Dungeness crab sold to food processors in Washington.
By The Associated Press
SEATTLE — Nearly 29 tons of Dungeness crab is being voluntarily recalled by the Quinault Tribe. The recall affects live and uneviscerated Dungeness crab.
The crabs are being recalled due to possible elevated marine toxin levels. The toxin is called domoic acid, which can be harmful to people if the contaminated shellfish are consumed, KIRO-TV reported.
Symptoms can include vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps, which can start within 24 hours of consumption.
The crab was caught by the tribe from Dec. 23-28 and sold to food processors in Washington.
Everyone who purchased the crabs is being advised to destroy the product and contact the place where it was purchased.

Once again we find ourselves on the short end of the stick when it comes to State Government whether it be Oregon or Washington. Oregon has recalled crabs clusters, 1/2 sections of cleaned crab, that were contaminated with Domoic acid, twice that I am aware of.
Both States encourage fish mongers to sell contaminated Dungeness crabs to the public by allowing them to do so. By doing so, both Oregon and Washington State will eventually cause the death of someone or cause someone the permanent short term memory loss; all because the State officials are a bunch of greedy Bastards.
