Now it’s possible to get the avian flu from fish. How is that possible? you ask. In Asia, fish grow fat and juicy in their fish farms because they’re fed a diet of chicken feces. And if those dumping chickens are infected, well then, Bob’s your sick uncle. But not to worry. Yet. A story in The Independent says, “Although no mention has been made of the possible links between manure-fed ponds and influenza in the recent alarm over bird flu, the issue has been raised before, and the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization…is well aware of the threat.”
