freaky!

Apparently, in the Potomac, male fish are producing eggs.

One postulated cause could be hormones "excreted by livestock or humans." This is one of those things I worry about, albeit minimally. Is there Prozac in our drinking water, from runoff or residually after treatment or reclamation? What about all the other drugs our pharmacologically-dependent society is on? The statins, the anti-inflammatories, the contraceptives and hormone treatments...it's just creepy.
