Thread: 1080 in Tararuas - When is safe?

Anything standing after four months will be ok , give it six months and it will be safe. Dogs different story a dog only needs 0.06 mg/per kg for a lethal dose.
In comparison a possum needs about 0.3mg/kg for a lethal dose.
1080 in sub lethal doses passes through the body in 24/48 hours and is excreted through the urine.
We were taught that it would be impossible to eat enough meat from an animal that died from 1080 and get a lethal dose in one sitting.
