Thread: 1080 KILLING FISH

I'm going to look at fluroacetate in tea to see what I can find.
There is a difference between sodium monofluroacetate compound and fluroacetate in plants....
So far all the headlines that are coming up are saying this is bull, though.

Yes, 1080 is a synthesised version of flouroacetate, which is claimed to be in tea.
The comparison to tea is in the context of minimum water quality standards regarding 1080. Not the suggestion that there is 1080 in tea. I agree that one sentence could be worded better.

Oh I know that, I'm saying that 1080 compound is a concentrated amount where a bait which is placed into the New Zealand environment is of certain toxicity, whereas naturally occurring it isn't a compound.
