Don't store avocado like this: it's dangerousBoom in hospitalizations in Milan for the so-called scombroid syndrome manifested after eating sushi
Hardly (even if there are exceptions) cheapness rhymes with quality, especially when there are food products at stake and specifically raw fish.
A Milan, where in recent years, the number of restaurants offering the formula has grown dramatically All you can eat, that is a fixed price with the possibility of eating as much as you want, increases the budget of hospitalizations due to sgrombroid syndrome, a pathology caused by the poor conditions in which they are stored tuna and blue fish.
While the interventions of the law enforcement agencies multiply, the unfortunates are grappling with nauseous, headache, flushing of the face and in the most severe cases with edema of the glottis with danger of suffocation. The last case is that of four intoxicated doctors after eating tuna in a Japanese restaurant in via Marostica.

The Nas carabinieri inspected the room, noting irregularities in the conservation method of "tuna and other fish of similar species". On 6 September another person was hospitalized after eating tuna in a bar, on 26 September it was the turn of another restaurant, on the 27th to two places, one of which was an "All you can eat" sushi. Other reports were made to the health company inspectors on 30 September and 1 October.
A phenomenon, therefore, like this widespread that the Milanese health company has already raised a real alarm on risks that occur when eating raw fish that is not properly stored. In the cases reported, the carabinieri have tracked down precisely irregularities in transport and storage. Several checks were also made in the fish market in via Lambroso.
Therefore, caution. The figures speak for themselves, since the beginning of the year they are already 45 2015 people were hospitalized for this intoxication in 47. In the case of scombroid syndrome, it is necessary to intervene with cortisone or antihistamines.
"We do not want to talk about an epidemic, but it is good that people are aware of the risks they face when they eat raw or freshly seared fish," the health company said.
We had already talked about what lies behind the sashimi, but in general it is good to stay away from fish from which you do not know the origin to also avoid contracting salmonellosis or other diseases.
In addition to the custom of sushi restaurants (but not only) to keep the tuna steaks already cut "in the window", a cause of contamination of the fish is the transport in hygienic and cold conditions that are not optimal. In particular, for cargoes arriving from the Pacific.
