Looks like we all are taking so many anti anxiety medications that our fish are now getting addicted to it. So this is how it works. You take the pill and some of it absorbed by your body but most of it passes right through your body and enters the sewage system. From there it enters our water supply and makes it way to rivers and oceans. When fish come in contact with this water, they consume the chemical as well, and as funny as it sounds, experience the same emotions as we do: calm, relaxed. In fact, researchers say that they become so calm that they are even unable to run away from fishermen and get caught easily. Not only is this upsetting the marine ecosystem, but through the fish it is entering the bodies of human beings who do not need anti-anxiety medication. I guess we should soon have a planet full of very calm and relaxed living beings just because a few people were suffering from anxiety.
