Scientists have uncovered a disturbing link between mercury pollution and the bird flu.
In a shocking study of 749 ducks across 11 species in California, researchers found that mercury-poisoned birds were 5 TIMES more likely to have had the bird flu recently.
Mercury is a powerful immunosuppressant which weakened the bird's immune systems, allowing increased transmission of the virus and disease severity.
So, what's really driving this bird flu pandemic?
Toxins or Viruses?
