HEALTH RISKS WITH FISH & WILD GAME
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, at 5:30pm
**REGISTER BELOW**
Local fish and wild game can contain harmful chemicals like per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), lead, mercury, dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). These chemicals can cause health effects if you eat too much too often. That’s why it’s important that you make the best choices for you and your family’s health when you choose how and where you hunt. Presented by MDHHS.
