Tuna fish is known to cause scombroid poisoning which is caused by bacteria that grow during the storage period of fish meat.
The effects of this poisoning can cause allergic reactions in some people, ranging from itching, facial redness, to headaches and vomiting. Therefore, tuna needs to be cleaned in a special way to minimize toxins in the fish. Many people choose to soak tuna in water mixed with charcoal to neutralize the poison.
There are also those who throw away the tail of the tuna fish to remove the poison. This is because the tail is considered to be the end of the absorption of toxins in tuna and so it needs to be thrown away.
