National Hemophilia Awareness Month is observed to raise awareness about hemophilia and other inherited bleeding disorders, support those affected, and encourage early diagnosis and proper care.

What is Hemophilia?

Hemophilia is a rare genetic condition where the blood doesn’t clot properly due to missing or low levels of clotting factors. This can lead to prolonged bleeding after injuries or even spontaneous bleeding episodes, especially in joints and muscles.

Ano ang Scombroid poisoning?

A foodborne illness caused by eating improperly stored fish (usually tuna, mackerel, mahi-mahi, sardines).

👉 When fish is not kept cold, bacteria convert histidine → histamine.
👉 High histamine = parang allergic reaction, pero hindi true allergy.

⚙️ Paano ito nangyayari?
1. Fresh fish contains histidine (natural amino acid).
2. If not refrigerated properly → bacteria (e.g. Morganella) grow
3. These bacteria produce histamine
4. Even if lutuin mo pa → hindi na nawawala ang histamine
5. Pag kain → rapid symptoms (minutes to 1–2 hours)

📌 Key point: Storage problem, not contamination in the usual sense

🤒 Signs and Symptoms

Usually rapid onset (within 10–60 minutes):

Common:
• Flushing (pamumula ng face/upper body)
• Headache
• Palpitations
• Burning/peppery taste sa bibig
• Sweating

GI symptoms:
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Abdominal cramps

Allergy-like:
• Urticaria (pantal)
• Itching
• Mild wheezing

Severe (rare but possible):
• Hypotension
• Bronchospasm
• Chest tightness

📌 Often mistaken as allergic reaction or even anaphylaxis

📢 ‼️ 𝐏𝐔𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐂 𝐀𝐃𝐕𝐈𝐒𝐎𝐑𝐘:
The BFAR-Negros Island Region (BFAR-NIR) has been closely monitoring recent reports of food poisoning cases in Cadiz City, Negros Occidental, linked to the consumption of Aloy and/or Tulingan.

Our technical team is currently investigating the incident. Based on preliminary reports, the symptoms are consistent with Scombroid Fish Poisoning (see comments to know more about SFP)

🔍 WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
This is not a naturally occurring toxin in the fish itself, but it happens when the fish is not properly kept chilled from the time it is caught until it reaches the market. When fish like Aloy or Tulingan are left in the heat, they produce high levels of histamine, which cannot be removed even by cooking or frying.

⚠️WHAT TO DO:
• Vendors should ensure that they are selling fresh fish all the time. Kept fish in chilled (1:1 ice fish ratio) condition especially this summer season. Avoid exposure of fish to high temperatures to prevent spoilage.
• For buyers: Avoid buying/eating fish that has a metallic/peppery taste, smells pungent, or has soft, mushy flesh.

We are working hand-in-hand with the local government of Cadiz and conduct monitoring of several wet markets in the Province of Negros Occidental to ensure that our local markets are safe. Your health is our priority!

Stay informed and stay safe, mga Negrense! 🐟💙
