Potential meat contamination question. See inside for details?

Asked by chyna (51321points) March 18th, 2014

In my hometown there was a well known chemical plant that closed down and the buildings were torn down. In the 50’s and afterward, it wasn’t known what the chemicals could do to people so this plant dumped chemicals into the ground and into the river. After a recent soil analysis of the land from a reputable company, it was determined the land was so contaminated that no building could be put on this land for 100 years.

Recently, I have been noticing the deer are feeding on this land. Will this taint the deer meat and will it be bad for human consumption?

Wouldn’t the deer realize there is chemicals in the grass?
