Harmful effects of or exposure to noxious substances, Substances chiefly nonmedicinal as to source, Noxious substances eaten as seafood, Scombroid fish poisoning – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/2067844780

Scombroid fish poisoning is due to histamine intoxication from ingestion of decomposing scombroid fish (principally tuna and mackerel). Symptoms include flushing, sweating, vomiting and diarrhoea. Bacterial degradation of histidine is thought to be the source of histamine in the spoiled fish.
