OLYMPIA — The state Department of Health warns people against eating too many razor clams.
An interim advisory issued Friday says no more than 15 razor clams per month should be eaten during a one-year period because of potential health risks associated with eating large quantities of razor clams harvested from the Washington coast.
The interim advisory applies to everyone, especially women who are pregnant or might become pregnant, nursing mothers, children, the elderly and people with compromised renal function, the state said.
The Community Advancing the Study of Tribal Nations Across the Lifespan study shows eating large amounts of razor clams with low levels of domoic acid may cause memory problems, the state said.
