Gone Fission

Posted by michael on from the live-bait dept.

Eddie writes "Just when you thought it was safe to go back into that snakehead fishpond behind the shopping center in Crofton, Md., now comes word of a new threat slithering into our environment - "nuclear worms" from Vietnam carrying cholera and other deadly diseases." There are a bunch of blurbs here and there about these worms - apparently this Washington Post story was the origin of most of them.

    If 42 persons, who want SOMETHING and their NAME, written on Slashdot, post an article about fish baits you instantly turn the site into a fishing portal. Great service, our feedback matters! If an article contains the words "nuclear" and "worm" it has gotta be interesting, right? It would be interesting to know how many of these submissions were posted under "security".

    This is a real problem. When I lived in Michigan there were cases of ecoli (sp?) from people swimming in goose feces polluted waters. I read somewhere that an full grown goose will crap an average of 3 pounds a day.
