SEATTLE, Wash. – If you have been fishing down in King County recently, you are going to want to toss out your catch.
The Washington State Department of Health has issued a fish consumption advisory for Lake Washington, Lake Meridian, and Lake Sammamish, after they found perfluorooctane sulfonate, known as PFOS, in several types of fish.
The department says PFOS can harm human health by interfering with your immune system and could potentially cause kidney cancer.
The types of fish you should not eat include the Common Carp and the Smallmouth Bass, among others.
