boilie warning

Anglers have been getting medical advice following the outbreak of sleepless
nights, lack of concentration and in some severe cases anglers have had
their skin erupting with boil like sores and or rashes. There are cases that
have caused major urinary problems including cancer.

Doctors have finally come up with the answer.

The skin being porous, is absorbing chemicals from some of the boilies at
present on the market, this is causing the symptoms described above.
Apparently the worst cases are from anglers that have ingested these
boilies.

A survey found that anglers using conventional baits like corn, bread , etc
have none of the symptoms, whereas anglers using more modern carp baits are
at extreme risk. It is recommended that where boilies are used they should
be of the home made variety where the contents are controlled.

The question therefore remains, if these are so harmful to humans what
damage are they doing to the fish stocks.
