Queensland fishermen have been taken to hospital with recurring weeping sores resembling spider bites after handling sick fish and working in water at Gladstone's harbour.
A fishing ban was imposed at Gladstone harbour on September 16 after sick fish were found with sores and cloudy eyes.
Up to 20 fishermen have issued statements to Queensland Health detailing painful boils that cover their legs and arms, medical doctor and Queensland Seafood Industry Association president Michael Gardner told AAP today.
