#2756: Fish : A comment
From:Jepiem@aol.com
If you're talking about ciguatera, no it's not new. Fish poisoning has been
known in Haiti for a long time. However there are many kinds of fish
poisonning and ciguatera is just one, caused by the poison ciguatoxin. Even
at this time, I don't tink Haitians in general worry much about it. Even
though Haiti is on an island, the majority of the Haitian population does not
eat that much sea fish anyway. Fish consumption is pretty much limited to the
coast and the bigger cities. Furtermre, Haitians are somewhat averse to
eating fish that they don't know. ( perhaps fish poisonning is the reason)
