We used to have a friend who fished in Medical Lake, Wa. It was always rumored that people were finding medicinal trophys while fishing in the lake, since it is located next to a hospital for the criminally insane. Sure enough, one day he caught a body part (leg), and when reporting the incident, the police just told him it was a normal occurrence and not to worry about it. You can say all you want, but I would NEVER eat anything out of that lake ..... I value my life and health too much. The government has always minimized the effects of the poisons in our public waters, especially if they are caused by a governmental agency, I see no reason to trust them now ..... pollution is not good, even if it is recycled by fish .... that's why I'm raising my own fish! If I lived in Florida, I, too would be concerned about mercury in the waters, and I wouldn't be waiting to find "extra heads, tails or fins" to start worrying!
Just my 2 centavos ......
