Entire Body System
- Falling
In the fall of 1996, fish kills in Maryland rivers were attributed to the dinoflagellate, Pfiesteria piscicida. [milestonelandscaping.com]
Reports of skin lesions on fish in the summer and fall of 1996 and 1997 in the Pocomoke River, Maryland and other tributaries of Chesapeake Bay stimulated a great deal of public and scientific interest. [pubs.usgs.gov]
It stipulates that the responsibility for manure disposal and pollution clean-up should not fall on small local contract farmers. [baltimorechronicle.com]

Pfiesteria stages and their putative neurotoxin also were blamed for health problems, particularly cognitive impairment, among people exposed to the organism, local crabbers and several research laboratory technicians. [eurekalert.org]

- Skin Ulcer
In these studies, fish exposed to A. invadans develop skin ulcers without exposure to Pfiesteria species. [vims.edu]
The absence of skin lesions in the moribund and dead fish in the bioassay was inconsistent with previous reports describing skin ulcers as the result of toxic activity by Pfiesteria spp. ( 5 ). [aem.asm.org]

- Fear
Whether manifested in large-scale fish deaths or human poisoning from shellfish consumption, public fear is aroused and regular media coverage of these events may exacerbate fear or potentiate the public to react irrationally to relatively minor, low-risk [joe.org]
In the 1990s, much of the regional news coverage portrayed Pfiesteria against a backdrop of fear and near-hysteria among coastal residents of Maryland and North Carolina. [eurekalert.org]
Perhaps Pfiesteria strikes at a vulnerable spot in our psyche—the fear of a horrible creature lurking below the surface of our favorite swimming hole. Jaws and other bone-chilling movies have played on these elemental fears. [scseagrant.org]
At the time of the outbreak, there was a fear that this would be the new normal — that each summer would bring toxic algae blooms that could harm people and close waterways. [baltimoresun.com]
Legislators in rural areas fear that placing such a legal and financial burden on chicken producers would make Maryland appear business-unfriendly in the eyes of the industry. [baltimorechronicle.com]
