  abstract = {{C}iguatera is a specific type of food poisoning associated with the ingestion of tropical fish, which, although normally safe for consumption, may at times contain high amounts of ciguatoxin, as well as other chemically related toxins. {W}idespread in tropical regions where coral reefs are present, ciguatera fish poisoning constitutes a major hindrance for local fishing industries, local economies and foreign trade. {B}ecause no symptomatic treatment has been totally satisfactory, folk remedies remain of great interest. {I}n this paper, a list of plants used in reating ciguatera poisoning in the {W}estern {P}acific region is presented, with emphasis on species whose exact utilization (par of plant used, preparation, dosage) has been determined.
