A member asked:
How many kinds of sicknesses can we get from eating fish?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many!: Depends on source of fish and type of fish: can include heavy metal poisoning, parasites, bacteria, viruses and toxins, and specific venoms which some fish like blowfish make. Raw fish is really risky. Wild pink salmon should not be eaten raw .
