flag Wild pigs in California are turning blue from banned rodenticide, posing risks to hunters and wildlife.

flag Wild pigs in California are turning neon blue due to exposure to diphacinone, a banned rodenticide linked to widespread harm in wildlife. flag The poison, which disrupts blood clotting and causes internal bleeding, has led to health warnings for hunters, who are advised not to eat meat from affected animals. flag The toxin persists even after cooking and has caused secondary poisoning in predators like mountain lions and endangered owls. flag California has restricted diphacinone use since 2024, urging safer baiting practices to protect non-target species.
