Abstract
As one of the victims of the outbreak of scombroid-fish poisoning reported by Morrow et al. (March 14 issue),* and with pride in the extremely high level of histamine excretion I was able to achieve, I would like to provide some additional clinical information, or what might be called "reflections of a data point," to their definitive analysis of this flushing syndrome.Keywords
