Notable occurrences

1793: The first case occurring in British Columbia, Canada with over 100 reported deaths and several thousand illness.[19]

1840: No deaths of humans have been attributed to Florida red tide, but people may experience respiratory irritation (coughing, sneezing, and tearing) when the red tide organism (Karenia brevis) is present along a coast and winds blow its toxic aerosol onshore. Swimming is usually safe, but skin irritation and burning is possible in areas of high concentration of red tide.[20]

1972: A red tide was caused in New England by a toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium (Gonyaulax) tamarense. The red tides caused by the dinoflagellate Gonyaulax are serious because this organism produces saxitonin & gonyautoxins which accumulate in shellfish and if ingested may lead to paralytic shellfish poisoning and can lead to death.[21]

1976: The first PSP case in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo where 202 victims were reported to be suffering and 7 deaths.[19][22][23]

2005: The Canadian red tide was discovered to have come further south than it has in years prior by the ship (R/V) Oceanus,[24] closing shellfish beds in Maine and Massachusetts and alerting authorities as far south as Montauk (Long Island, NY) to check their beds.[25] Experts who discovered the reproductive cysts in the seabed warn of a possible spread to Long Island in the future, halting the area's fishing and shellfish industry and threatening the tourist trade, which constitutes a significant portion of the island's economy.

2011: Gulf of Mexico[citation needed]

2012: North Avoca NSW Australia[citation needed]

2012 25/26 December: Englewood Florida[citation needed]

2013: On January, a red tide occurred again on the West Coast Sea of Sabah in the Malaysian Borneo.[22][26] Two fatalities has been reported after they consumed a shellfish that has been contaminated with the red tide toxin.[22][23][26]

why it makes us cough good article
Last week as I sat in a beach-side open-air restaurant in southwest Florida, I started coughing. Hard. I couldn’t stop, and I apologized repeatedly. Yet I hadn’t felt sick before, and the suddenness of the coughing was very weird
