    Revised fish consumption advice issued by Health Department for bluegill sunfish in Pool 2 of the Mississippi River (2006-03-28)

    The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) is revising the Fish Consumption Advisory to include guidelines on eating fish from Pool 2 of the Mississippi River that may contain PFOS, a perfluorochemical (PFC). PFOS has been measured in the edible tissues of bluegill sunfish and smallmouth bass at levels of health concern for people who eat these fish too often. Pool 2 refers to the section of the Mississippi River between the Hastings Dam and the Ford Dam in St. Paul, including some backwater lakes and connecting channels.

    That explains why my white bass last year didn’t need grease to prevent it from sticking to the pan last year. Also the amount of time I spent in the bathroom.
