'Meth-gators' aren't real, Tennessee police say after viral post — at least not yet
A Tennessee police department has clarified that they were joking when they suggested "meth-gators" are possible when folks flush their drugs down the toilet.
"Ducks, Geese, and other fowl frequent our treatment ponds and we shudder to think what one all hyped up on meth would do," the post read."Furthermore, if it made it far enough we could create meth-gators in Shoal Creek and the Tennessee River down in North Alabama.
It's possible any drug can persist in water for some time, said University of Tennessee-Knoxville professor and environmental microbiologist Frank Loeffler. But that length of time is unknown. Story continuesAnd while you shouldn't expect a drug to have the same effect on an animal as it would on a person, it's possible that a drug can disrupt an animals' endocrine system.
