I read in "Eléments de parasitologie médicale" that
*humans are infested when they eat *predator* fish, mainly [brochet,
perche, lotte d'eau douce] (sorry, no French/English dictionary)
*The symptoms can be mild. 88% of the Canadian Eskimos, and 25 to 100% of
the Finns (depending on districts) are infested by that tapeworm.
*Niclosamid (sp?) = Tredemine (TM) is very efficient against the parasite.
Best wishes,
Jean-Louis
