Some Istrian mussels could cause diarrhoea


Veterinarian services have closed several mussel collection and cultivation areas between Savudrija and Barbariga (Istria) due to health concerns.Five days before the closing order, the services determined a large amount of biotoxins in the molluscs' flesh, the consumption of which could lead to digestive problems, or diarrhoea.Since then the nurseries have been controlled every day and will reopen once two consecutive samples are negative. The Public Health Department of Istria County said that they have not registered any cases of mussel poisoning of yet.
