Summary
Washington state has shut down all shellfish harvesting in Hood Canal and Admiralty Inlet due to dangerously high levels of paralytic shellfish poison — a toxin that’s not destroyed by cooking or freezing and can cause paralysis and death. Clams, oysters, and mussels are affected, but crab and shrimp are safe. Symptoms start with tingling lips and tongue and can escalate quickly — seek emergency help immediately if you feel unwell after eating shellfish. Always check the Department of Fish and Wildlife’s “Find a beach” tool before heading out. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
