I like the statement that the drugs give the fish the "munchies."

Iv been fishing while drug tainted for years and find no side effects.

 

Even my comprehension is excellent.

Anne McElroy was actually one of my professors a semester or two ago. Some of the many drugs that water treatment plants do nothing about can actually change the sex ratio as well in some fish (especially flounder). If you live near a hospital with a large radiation treatment facility you will find traces of the radiation in and around the outflow in the aquatic vegetation. I like this article It shows that our waste does not magically disappear. It may affect other organisms elsewhere. Also shows how behind the curve water treatment has become.
