All asthmatic like symptoms
This toxin is transmitted by aerosol
Comparing listening to Nickelback to palytoxin poisoning eh? I would say the two are pretty comparable, you missed #5 though where the person puts on a tapout shirt and gets a severe case of "Toolosis".

Thanks for posting the article Dan it was a pretty good read! As much as I appreciate being safe around these species, the RT article like many blindly point at palytoxin without proof.

There are MILLIONS of compounds floating around in our artificial oceans, until a toxicology report is done for one of these cases we can only assume it is one of them.
