Eels 'hyperactive' due to cocaine in the Thames

The Thames is a BIG river. It would take tons of cocaine to alter wildlife. Proof? How many druggies are down there getting high on river water?

Oh Great, I'm afraid now it's just a matter of time until the eels start mugging people and forming gangs to feed their addictions. As if England didn't have enough problems already...

Just what I was going to say. This would have to be mighty powerful stuff for it to have any potency at that level of dilution. 

In any case, surely Cocaine is so 80's.

We have high eels, fish too relaxed to worry about being eaten because they are getting antidepressants and antianxiety derivatives in water...humans are messing with this planet in so many ways <_<

" Eels in the Thames aren’t as closely exposed to the drug as those in the 2018 study — so it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re getting “high” from the run-off. "

So they don't really know if this is effecting the eels? I would think they would determine how much was in captured eels and how much was required to cause a change in behavior. Sounds like a lot of speculation.

Wish drugs worked on me as good as they do wildlife!

Is this why British swimmers are failing drug tests? Or possibly polluting...
