On Monday, the Department of Agriculture put the Limaloa Farm under quarantine after the Kekaha Facility tested positive for white spot syndrome virus.

Known as WSSV, it's a highly contagious and deadly disease for crustaceans.

There is no danger to humans, even if you eat the shrimp.

But, WSSV can wipe-out entire shrimp ponds.

The Kekaha Farm had it once before in 2004 when it was operated by Cea-Tech.

The quarantine forced Cea-Tech into bankruptcy.

Limaloa Farms stopped all shipments as soon as the disease was detected on June 12 and will continue to do so until further notice.
