Fish on Prozac

[BaliBabyDoc]

I imagine Bush will propose an indepth study . . .

Brooks said the fluoxetine, and a metabolized compound similar to it, most likely made their way into the water systems from the urine of users or through people flushing Prozac down the toilet. The waste water facility was not equipped to remove the compounds, which then made their way into the blue gills, and perhaps other aquatic life.
?If we release something in the environment, we need to understand what will happen to it,? Brooks said.
Brooks said his findings lead to a bevy of other questions: How many pharmaceuticals can escape water treatment? Can these chemicals harm the water supply? How widespread is the problem? What long-term health effects might these pharmaceuticals have on aquatic life and humans?

Fish containing Prozac? In that case there are several people around this forum who need to increase the amount of fish in their diet right away.
