And another link for my fellow European freedivers. For example the document
Fresh fish is taken off Spanish menus after parasite alert Independent, The (London) - Find Articles claims that
"Spanish Food Security Agency found that 36 per cent of fish captured in Spanish waters in 2005 had been infected by anisakis" - that's a rather major number here.
I already quoted a medical document about
anisakis cases in France, and you can find documents quoting cases elsewhere in Europe too, both on the Atlantic and the Med coast. However, I did not yet see any such alarm about it here in France as the above mentioned December alert in Spain. Well, French politicians traditionally like to hide the truth (for example at the Chernobyl catastrophe they claimed the radioactive cloud stopped at the border and turned away, which was BS of course, and only in the last time it becomes clear what damage it made to many people who did not protect them correspondingly like their neighbors in Germany or Switzerland did). For this reason I do not really expect an early warning from the French authorities, but seeing 36% of Spanish fish is infected, I see no reason why it should be much different in France either already now, or very soon.
