Can any one tell me what kind of disease caused by fish. I never heard about this. Is these diseases are really very dangerous.
 
Humans and marine fish can share a group of pathogens known as the mycobacterium. A fish can get from an infected human, and an infected fish can transmit it to a human.

These kinds of diseases are what causes tumors and lesions in both fish and humans. They are very hard to get rid of in a human. I've known some of my colleges to contract it and not get rid of it for many months.

This is one reason I advocate never put your unprotected hands into aquarium water. Don't let family or friends get wet. Don't hand-feed any of your fishes. Enjoy their world from a distance. :D
