Idaho food banks and a Washington state homeless shelter appear to have gotten donated fish pulled from an Idaho lake without being aware of a state warning about high mercury levels in such fish.

The consumption of fish is by far the most significant source of ingestion-related mercury exposure in humans

Mercury is a neurotoxin that is particularly damaging to the developing brain.symptoms include peripheral neuropathy (presenting as paresthesia or itching, burning or pain), skin discoloration (pink cheeks, fingertips and toes), edema (swelling), and desquamation (dead skin peels off in layers).
Affected children may show red cheeks and nose, erythematous lips (red lips), loss of hair, teeth, and nails, transient rashes, hypotonia (muscle weakness), and photophobia. Other symptoms may include kidney disfunction (e.g. Fanconi syndrome) or neuropsychiatric symptoms (emotional lability, memory impairment, insomnia).

Or is it something more sinister? Like trying to poison off the 'unwanted' populace.?
