Did anybody see this? Mercury in all fish now.

I never will understand why people believe everything they see on the internet.

You won't like the test. Blood and urine plus other stuff involved. Probably find other things you have succumbed yourself to . An Arrest could be involved. They may even want to probe you!

I'll gobble up a big catfish sandwich before I go in, that should do it.   

Seriously though, go into any doctor's office and challenge them to find something wrong with you that can be disabling.....and I guarantee they'll come up with something.

They can call it whatever they want long as those bank deposits start coming in.  😉

I gave them every opportunity to do just that in 2017 and they couldn’t find anything. And trust me they looked everywhere.

Yep I copied this directly from the article. You should be good to go.

            We are not going to live forever and something will get us sooner than later. You know you do not go to the doctor to find trouble. You go when you get into trouble. I seen cancer take my father and my best fishing buddy and friend. If it wasn't for treatment and the grace of God Pat would not be here. Not too many years ago it was a death sentence when you got breast cancer. 

          We are not bulletproof and the older I get the more I know it. Lead poisoning like Mercury poisoning is real. You would need to ingest a bunch I am sure. I was not happy when they took lead shot from the waterfowl hunters. It was proved that waterfowl were ingesting and dying from lead in marshes thinking it was seeds. Then it effected predatory birds that fed on ducks.  

      Lead paint effected children that did not know better than to chew on the wood that had been painted and got sick. 

   I will continue eat fish but not live on it.  Moderation and variety on anything in life is important,

I will never understand why people discount the scientific method and what it gives us towards understanding the world around us.

Well I hope they are longer than 12 inches if people are eating them. 

Not if they keep those below the slot 12 to 15" limit where posted. Used to keep a number of 11 inch bass from a local impoundment near us when we weren't catching crappie or bluegill. More meat than a crappie.

Most of it's fear of someone actually being smarter than they are. I may not have a scientific job but that’s been my interest since I was a kid and where all of my education dollars were spent. I freaking love everything science.

I can't recall the name of the researcher. I believe that he was in Minnesota. He had 15 to 20 years of mercury research destroyed by some protesters. That work began looking at the propagation of mercury through aquatic food webs on nervous system effects on animals like mink and otters due to mercury toxicity. Set that research back a decade or more.

If you are looking at sources of mercury in your house just look at any fluorescent lights. Each have millihram amounts of mercury.. So don't just throw them out in regular trash.

You guys who've been paying attention to my posts have read something along the lines of everything is everywhere.  It's true.  But that doesn't excuse looking away from obvious sources of pollutants that affect everything on the planet.  Just because you're alive and not on your back kicking like a turtle trying to turn over doesn't mean there are not real problems that we could deal with better than we are.  But we don't because we as a nation revere $$$ more than our kids and grandkids.  It should not be so.
