Show Federal Agency Warns That Raw Fish May Cause Death COLLEGE PARK, MD. Don't feed your dog too much raw fish, says the fish and wildlife service. Cooked fish is okay. The same advice goes for your cat, your canary, even your pet fishes. It also might apply to the feeding of human beings wherever dried fish is consumed. Recent investigations have proved beyond doubt, the agency says, that several varieties of raw fish contain thiaminase, an enzyme which destroys de-stroys thiamin, otherwise known as vitamin B-l. A deficiency of B-l leads to nervous disorders and often to death. j j |
