Cocaine, other illicit drugs found in U.K. freshwater shrimp, study finds

, tested the chemical exposure of freshwater shrimp and the surface water from 15 locations across Suffolk, a county is southwest U.K., and found trace amounts of cocaine in each sample.

Other illicit drugs, such as ketamine, methamphetamine and MDMA, were also found in some of the samples. The report also indicates a presence of several banned pesticides, most notably fenuron. The researchers do not have a definitive explanation for the widespread cocaine contamination, but say it could be a result of public use and sewer overflow. The research team believes run-off and leaching from the U.K. agriculture sector is to blame for the pesticides, which they say needs to be investigated further.a 2013 study from Sweden’s Umea University

found that trace amounts of drugs in fish can greatly alter their behaviour, potentially making them an easy meal for predators. The researchers exposed several wild European perch in an aquarium to extremely diluted levels of anti-anxiety medication and found they were more aggressive and more likely to leave their school than unexposed fish.

“Shrimp Coke-Tail” anyone?

Mmmm tasty and gives you that high

MHFit That some bad shrimp, I'm telling you 🍤

What not to expect when so many snort Crack in big CEO Corp suites!

They just deep fry everything anyway.... Likely all this coke shrimp too.. So are they really concerned about health? And can cocaine survive the deep fryer at a molecular level?

Whoa let's have a shrimp fry.

Time to set up facilities where people can go snort shrimp in a safe and medically supervised environment.

205 billion litres of raw sewage and untreated waste water was poured into Canada's rivers and oceans, I wonder what there fish is full of...likely full of shìt like cathmckenna who dumped the sewage in.

Sitting at the shrimp buffet all night long. 🍤🍤🍤🍤
