I wonder how much more dangerous a shark which has ingested cocaine would be. Scientists found traces of the drug in the bodies of 13 sharks which were caught off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. How did that happen and what about other marine life that reach our dinner table? Read the full story here. Pixabay image.

Well that is something..but I can't say I am surprised. I would think it might be more likely to have them off the coast of Fla. though.

Seems like the stuff was dumped or entered through the sewage.

I think the whales are doing it too.

There is a chance that any sea creature could swallow some.

My nephew was just telling me about this. I wonder if this accounts for the increase in shark attacks ?
