How did they get the b how do they get the wheels under the wheel? Wait, wait, wait, show
me,
show me.
It's a It's been around
for ages. It has, yeah. And it's just resurfaced. Like someone had it in a shed and they were like, Oh, we should take the Filio fish for a hone.
I'm shopping for a new car at the moment.
I say get it. I would be it would be
the best thing. I don't think it would fit in the work car park. I don't think it'd be hybrid or electric, which is what you're after. Yeah, yeah.
Okay. Damn it.
Well, we'll deal with that in the top six soon.
But um if you're on birth control and you do wheeze in a toilet You might be causing a huge problem for fish.
Wow. Oh the flitch morning hailey big pod.
I'm I'm lovin' I'm loving to get into a little bit of a hyper focused deep dive on how human medication is affecting fish in the wild.
Wow, I didn't even think about them.
The fish.
My medication impacting their um Yeah. Well it all ends up in
like the you know, wastewater treatment plants and then it gets treated and then it gets, you know, put back into the system.
But it gets treated, like it takes all the poo's and toilet paper.
It's just a medication. And
it's not just that, it's all the like illicit drug use. Yes. Yeah, they're
high on because w meth numbers went up, right? And that's how they test it is um the fish and how like pinging off the bloody I could not see
um anything about like drugs for fish. Like like the what do you call them? Recreational drugs. Because technically medication is drugs, but it's prescribed drugs. Well, um researchers added synthetic estrogen, which is found in birth control pills, to a lake in Canada three times a week over three open water seasons. So similar to what it ends up like in rivers and lakes around the world. From woman taking birth control and then wheezing and then it goes through the thing and then it gets put back into the And then the water system and um they were like it will my w our expectation is the estrogen will calm down the males. Oh really? Knock a bit of
testosterone down, give a bit of balance?
Yeah. What happened? It completely the opposite.
They get aggro.
Yeah, they got aggro. So so more fish, males and um feminized males and possibly female fish were crowding around the nest. And so the males became more territorial 'cause they're like, there's more people coming look. Get away, get away, get away, my nest, my nest, my nest. So egg counts dropped early on and they were like, Well that's uh also the opposite of what we expected to happen.
Right.
So
what
it's estrogen.
Right. So they what they expected to happen was for everyone to be chill when they gave them everyone to be chill hormonal birth control.
How do birth‑control pills and other human medications affect wild fish?
Yeah.
They weren't trying to like boost numbers but they were just like we're just gonna test we're gonna cure it. But what
happened is that they became very territorial. They became very aggressive.
Yep, and they would the woman went wandering so they were laying less eggs at home, so the population like plumps.
I don't want to be near you right now. Yeah. Yeah. I'm on hormonal birth control. Had a complete personality shift. Yeah. Don't touch me, don't look at me.
So don't impregnate me. Certainly don't and well no, if 'cause they lay the eggs and then they get fertilized, don't they? So I was like, What other drugs are we taking?
