The Invisible Poison Lurking Beneath Sapphire Waves

by Sizwe Dlamini
January 1, 2026

{“summary”: “Imagine tiny, invisible sea bugs that create a deadly poison. Mussels eat these bugs and become full of this poison, called saxitoxin. If people eat these poisoned mussels, their nerves stop working, and they can’t breathe. This hidden danger is causing big problems for people who gather mussels and for the sea itself, killing lots of sea creatures and making the ocean sick. Scientists are working hard to find ways to spot this silent killer and keep everyone safe.”}
