Overview

Pathophysiology

The exact nature of the poison is still unclear. It cannot be inactivated by cooking, as all six CDC cases had consumed cooked or fried fish.[1]

Palytoxin has been proposed as a disease model.[2]

It has been suggested that the toxin may have thiaminase activity (i.e. it degrades thiamine, also known as vitamin B1).[3]
