[El ácido domoico] en dosis bajas, originaría trastornos gastroentéricos, pero en dosis más elevadas puede ocasionar una lesión grave a células cerebrales provocando síntomas neurológicos que incluyen la pérdida de memoria. El ácido domoico interrumpe la transmisión neuroquímica normal en el cerebro fijándose a los receptores de glutamato, hecho que causa mayor excitación de las neuronas y la rotura final de las células.

A pathological condition in humans caused by the consumption of certain marine mussels or clams that have fed on planktonic dinoflagellates belonging to the genus Gonyaulax. The mussels or clams become contaminated with a neurotoxin produced by the dinoflagellates, and subsequent consumption by humans results in respiratory or gastrointestinal distress.

La marée rouge est une prolifération d'algues qui crée des conditions potentiellement mortelles pour l'être humain. Lorsqu'une marée rouge survient, on relève une explosion de microorganismes appelés dinoflagellés qui produisent l'un des plus puissants poisons naturels au monde. Les mollusques bivalves (coques, moules, pétoncles, huîtres et palourdes) absorbent cette toxine lorsqu'ils consomment les algues en question. La toxine reste dans l'organisme des mollusques bivalves longtemps après que les conditions aient changé et il est impossible de savoir quels mollusques ont été contaminés.
