Bobber Down 921 Report post Posted April 26, 2022 The Michigan "scientists" that are warning about the synthetic PFAS toxins (not mercury) found in smelts also state that consumption of these toxins "may" suppress your immune system. These "forever chemicals” known as PFAS (they are man made and they don't know where they come from as far as getting into smelts is concerned) and your exposure to these toxic substances "may" increase the risk of severe COVID-19 symptoms and undermine the efficacy of vaccinations. A retired director of the National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences said that people who've been exposed to high levels of PFAS "may" end up needing additional booster shots of the coronavirus vaccine because of their risk of developing severe Covid-19 symptoms. Another states that what we understand about COVID and PFAS effect on the immune system is that people with higher PFAS levels in their blood are at higher "risk" of immunotoxicity. I "think" the risk is real she states "but" we can’t put definitive numbers on those risks. So, it seems that if you don't want severe Covid symptons and additional booster shots you should hang up your smelt net if you can't limit yourself to 16 smelts a month.

I believe that is just the stupidity we are worried about at this point. Worlds full of it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

j.klister 24 Report post Posted April 26, 2022 PFAS are a component of fluorocarbon fishing lines, as one fishing related example of where they are used. They are also used in ski waxes, and they have been mostly banned there at all levels of racing except the World Cup, where the ban will go into effect next year Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
