We investigate the effect of nonextensive statistics as applied to the chemical fluctuations in high-energy nuclear collisions discussed recently using the event-by-event analysis of data. It turns out that very minuite nonextensitivity changes drastically the expected experimental output for the fluctuation measure. This results is in agreement with similar studies of nonextensity performed recently for the transverse momentum fluctuations in the same reactions.
