Class Experience

We will cover the name, cause, chemical reaction, symptoms, diagnosis, hospital treatment, prevention, epidemiology, and one to two real-life outbreaks.  We will also watch 2 minutes of a short video (by the National Library of Medicine —  U.S.).  Scombroid fish poisoning is not heavily researched and is generally underreported, so it is a good shorter class to learn about something that is more obscure than other conditions.  

The class will be mostly slides/lecture, with the same (non-graded) “what you know” assessment given at the beginning and end of class on (on a slide), to gauge what was already known vs. what was learned in class.  Learners can ask questions and participate throughout, and also ask questions at the end of class.

There is no outside preparation needed, but I do ask that students have a way to take notes and write down/record their answers to the assessment, whether it be paper and pen/pencil or an electronic device.  I will share answers at the very end of class.  For classes with few learners, we may end a bit early. 

Please contact me with any questions, and I look forward to seeing you/your learner!
Learning Goals
Students will be able to identify the cause of Scombroid Fish Poisoning, learn the chemical reaction, symptoms, hospital treatments, and how to prevention of Scombroid Fish Poisoning.  We will also go over some epidemiology and at least two small outbreaks.

We will watch about 2 minutes of the video “Histamine: The Stuff Allergies Are Made of” during class. I will play the video clip, so students will not have to go to YouTube themselves. https://youtu.be/1YrKVobZnNg The sources used to put together the slideshow will be listed as a “References” slide at the end of the presentation.
