Got a pretty nice kick out of this episode since I've been taking an ocean biology class recently. Red tides are caused by microscopic dinoflagellates which some species produce a neurotoxin. Since shellfish filter through thousands of them daily, the concentration of the neurotoxin can get to lethal levels if humans then consume the shellfish. The fish in the farms pose a similar problem. Since the neurotoxin isn't a protein, it's extremely heat resistant so they wouldn't have been able to just cook it out which basically meant their entire harvest for that season went down the drain. Though that last shot was all kinds of beautiful, flying snail bird things

Chemicals are dangerous and exotic etc. And they don't even realize they're surrounded by that stuff, because everything is chemicals actually. If I started seeing raw elements that weren't there before floating around, I'd trip out too.
