'Do Not Eat' Advisory for Deer

The Michigan departments of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) and Natural Resources (DNR) today issued a "Do Not Eat" advisory for deer taken within approximately five miles of Clark’s Marsh in Oscoda Township. The advisory is due to high levels of PFOS (perfluorooctane sulfonic acid) found in a single deer taken about two miles from Clark’s Marsh, which borders the former Wurtsmith Air Force Base. PFOS is one type of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) chemical.
