I love eating meat. But as I grew older, I started to change my way of eating. Now, I eat mostly seafood. Most of them are good for your health. But lately, however, there are some precautions before eating them. One of those things that makes me worry before eating seafood is red tide.

Contrary to common belief, red tides do not necessarily produce a red discoloration on the water – just like what happened during the time of Moses . The microscopic killers in most cases are algae that occur in the form of dinoflagellates, tiny single-cell organisms that usually photosynthesize and contain chlorophyll but also have the animal-like trait of bearing twin tails, which whirl the organism forward.
Favorable conditions for red tide organisms include the right temperature and amount of nutrients. “During the day, the seeds are found near the surface where they receive sunlight for their photosynthesis activities,” said the Cavite-based International Institute of Rural Reconstruction . “At night, they occur deeper in the water column where they receive nourishment.”
Dinoflagellates serve as food to shellfish and other marine bivalves. When shellfish ingest too much of these, the shellfish become contaminated with red tide poison proven to be deadly to human beings. The most common shellfishes infested by red tide are mussels, oysters, scallops, cockles and limpets.
