I hope they are looking into what's causing it and how to stop it before it happens to other lakes.

Here's the more extensive list, and its a more far reaching than East Texas. And many have been in place for 20+ years. Not much you can do for mercury.

And I would also assume, the list is incomplete. But that is my opinion, not a fact.

I want this verified by a source not the US government. Science direct is a government stooge operation. Note the differing data from the FDA and the EPA. I don't trust either.

I'm going to die one day. That's a given. I'll eat my fish and take my chances. I don't trust ANY government agency including TPWD
