Otters that have died in the last ten years in Sweden have had heavy drugs and banned environmental toxins in their blood.

This is shown by a new study from the National Museum of Natural History, which TT reports on.

58 of 60 dead otters tested for drugs had various medications in them.

Among other things, slimming agents, antipsychotics, antidepressants and antibiotics.

All also had long-banned environmental toxins.

– It is remarkable. We don’t know how it affects the animals when they are alive – to do that you have to carry out animal tests – but it is frightening that we find drugs in them at all, says Anna Roos, curator at the museum and author of the report, to TT.

The otters get the medicines through the water they drink and the fish they eat.
