As I've reported here* before, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as Prozac are now in our waterways and therefore in fish. A new report looks at brook trout in municipal wastewaters and finds that, lo and behold, the trout contained six antidepressants in their livers, brains and muscles.
*I thought I had reported this before but I couldn't find any mention of it in this blog. The info is definitely in the book, though. One more reason to buy The Adventures of Cancer Bitch . Look in the end notes section.
A special thanks to D for telling me about these studies.
