Twenty-five persons, including four minor, were hospitalized after eating windowpane oyster, also known as "katipay" or "tipay", infected with red tide in Milagros, Masbate on Wednesday. Nonie Enolva, Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR)-Bicol spokesperson, said that the victims suffered from paralytic shellfish poisoning two days after BFAR-Bicol issued an advisory reminding the public of existing shellfish ban due to the presence of red tide toxin on the coastal waters of Milagros and Sorsogon Bay.
