Antananarivo, November 18, 8:05 AM – Cases of food poisoning have been reported in Vohémar. At least three people have died after eating shark meat in Antsahatopy, Fanambana. The information was confirmed by the district chief, who reported that the first death occurred on Sunday. Two more deaths were recorded on Monday, after the victims had already been treated at Salfa Hospital in Vohémar. Twelve other patients were still receiving treatment Monday evening, according to our source.
Gendarmerie officers went to the scene on Sunday to seize the remains of the shark. These law enforcement officers intercepted the villagers who were still cutting up the shark and preparing its meat. The catch, brought in by fishermen from Vohemar, was buried, according to the gendarmerie. A sample of the flesh was taken for analysis to identify the toxin it contained and to allow for continued treatment of those affected at the hospital.
In Madagascar, consuming contaminated or improperly stored meat, whether fish, poultry, pork, or zebu, often leads to serious, sometimes fatal, food poisoning. Health authorities therefore recommend checking the origin and traceability of products, consuming only fresh meat that has been properly stored and kept refrigerated, and adhering to strict hygiene rules during animal slaughter and meat preparation.
