Do many lakes in upstate New York contain large amounts of mercury?

Answer 1

I live right on Lake Ontario. They say you should not eat the fish more than a couple times a week, and pregnant women should not eat it at all due to chemical levels in the water. I've been eating the fish my whole life (better than half a century) and I'm a vegetarian, so fish is a staple for me. I'm still kickin'.

Answer 2

Yes.
