How does climate change affect health? And what can medical professionals do about it? Those are the very questions we hope to answer here on Code Green: The Climate-Smart Health Professional. In each episode of this series, we’ll highlight the intersections of climate change and health by exploring patient case studies that exemplify the climate-health nexus and by spotlighting planetary health curriculum initiatives at medical schools around the world. Hosted by Phoebe Cunningham and Elizabeth Whidden, edited by Liana Haigis, and produced by Natasha Sood and Sarah Hsu.

3. Climate Change and Ciguatera Fish Poisoning (with Dr. Mindy Richlen)

Let’s talk climate change and Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs)! In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Mindy Richlen, Assistant Director of the U.S. National Office for Harmful Algal Blooms and member of the Greater Caribbean Center for Ciguatera Research, to discuss:

How climate change is contributing to the global expansion of HABs.
How HABs can cause a debilitating and underdiagnosed illness known as Ciguatera Fish Poisoning.
What this all means for healthcare providers!

Given the changing geographic patterns of ciguatera due to climate change, we want to make sure all healthcare professionals are well-equipped to diagnose and manage patients with suspected Ciguatera Fish Poisoning. Make sure to catch our Ciguatera case study at the end of the episode!
