In the early years there was much interest in the amount of poison necessary to cause sickness and death of humans. From accidental cases of poisoning along the coast of California where catenella commonly blooms, Sommer and colleagues estimated that death of humans resulted from the consumption of about 20,000 HU of poison. However, along the St. Lawrence estuary and Bay of Fundy the Canadians observed death of persons with a consumption as low as 5000 MU. In these areas shellfish become poisonous by feeding on G. tamarensis.
