Regular Member Carole Posted October 7, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted October 7, 2006 I was just wondering if fish parasites can cause harm to people. I want to know how careful to be when I suspect a parasite problem. Thanks, Carole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Fishmerised Posted October 7, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted October 7, 2006 No, fish parasites cannot infect people. Sometimes I've got all itchy from swimming in the sea and that's from some sort of lice (from the pelicans I think) but a shower sorts out the problem. Some bacteria can enter open wounds on the skin and cause serious problems. It's important that you don't have any cuts on your hands when playing in fish water.
