I ran across an article in the current Patagonia catalog which caught my
attention on sea lice infestation in wild and farm raised salmon. Fist time
I heard of this, and recently started a bit of research. Has anyone here in
roff ingested salmon with sea lice? Any ill effects? Nothing to be alarmed
about? I eat salmon twice a month, may rethink now.

Most of the salmon coming from the ocean and migrating up rivers in
Alaska to spawn have sea lice.

We ate Silvers straight from the ocean that had sea lice, but we
didn't eat the skin and that's where they attach themselves. Good
eating, btw, fresh from the ocean pan fried with potatoes and onions,
and stick bread.
