I think my little brother has it, I cant get him talked into getting checked for it,
here is a link to some place where you can get the kit, but personaly I would rather stay away from eating those fish,
they say that you can kiss or lick the fish's liver and if it tingles or gets numb then the fish is toxic. I dont think I will be kissing any fish livers any time soon, especialy sick fish livers. I love fish, but not in that way...
I have herd there are a number of kits available, but none reliable enough to the every day fisherman... This is according to my county health inspector. the only way to know for sure is to have the algae on the reefs tested. some red tides are toxic and some red tieds are ok, there are yellow green blue pink and orange tides as well and many others... of the 600 algae species only 60 are toxic. but knowing which one is, is the job of local governing bodies who test the algae regulary.
here is what sailorgirl had to say about it...
