Haff Disease

A condition defined as rhabdomyolysis within 24 hours of ingesting fish. It occurred in ‘epidemic’ waves—1924, 1925, 1940—affecting ±1000 people who lived near Königsberg Bay, Lithuania, and was recently reported in the US—all 6 cases had consumed buffalo fish—Ictiobus cyprinellus
Aetiology Ingestion of fish tainted with cellulose-derived toxic resins and/or arsine from paper-processing plants that discharged waste into Haff waters had been postulated; more recently, an unidentified toxins in eels and fish have been blamed
