  • 1Poisoned in Paradise A Whakatane woman has spent more than 30 weeks in hospital and cannot eat properly after she was poisoned while eating fish during a dream holiday in Fiji. Amanda Austrin has a severe case of ciguatera poisoning - a rare illness with no cure or antidote - after eating the fish with friends in July last year. The 41-year-old suffers from hot and cold reversals, meaning her shower temperature has to be very hot to provide any comfort for her when she bathes. She still vomits every day - 18 months after her Fiji visit - and now has an extensive list of foods she cannot eat via the machine that feeds her for several hours of every day. She wants to warn those considering holidays in the tropics to take caution when eating fish.
