We report about three patients consulting a general practitioner with acute onset of allergy-like clinical signs after having consumed tuna fish salad in the same restaurant. The treatment with antihistamines and steroids was effective and induced a quick regression of the symptoms. We look at considerations regarding the differential diagnosis and explain the pathophysiologic and the biochemical mechanisms of scombrotoxicosis.
