SF's Dungeness Crab Season Ending: Know Food Poisoning Signs

Panko Alerts · May 5, 2026

As San Francisco's Dungeness crab season wraps up in May, be extra careful with leftover crab from restaurants or markets. If you get severe stomach cramps, bloody diarrhea, or fever within 2-5 days of eating crab, see a doctor immediately - these could be signs of Vibrio food poisoning from bad shellfish. The SF Health Department tracks these cases closely since our city eats so much local seafood.
