Chernobyl fallout seems to have hit half of Europe. We got some in Switzerland as well and it's well known that mushrooms are still contaminated. But only recently word got out that wild boars might be contaminated as well. They're testing it right now. So who knows what else is still contaminated?

People hear aren't too worried about acid rain. We worry more about fox tape worms. We're taught to never eat any berries or herbs you can find in the forest, cause they might have tape worms on them. And apparently washing them thoroughly doesn't make them completely safe. That makes me sort of careful about drinking water as well. I suppose you're fine as long as it's running water or a larger pond and don't drink right on the shore. My dad knew a guy who had a fox tape worm eating away his vertebrae and the doctors only found it by chance and just in time. A few weeks more and about three of his vertebrae would have turned into dust. I was only a child then and deeply impressed by the story.
