DANGER: do not eat shark meat!

Eating shark meat may expose you to dangerous, high levels of the metal mercury. Worldwide polution has been exposed to our our oceans, and is increasing the risk of high mercury levels in some of the fish we eat. Too much mercury in one's diet  can cause loss of coordination, blindness or even death. So although shark meat seems like a fun new exotic food to try, be extremely careful and make sure you find out more before trying it!
