Californian authorities are warning people to avoid the meat of wild pigs in Monterey County as something strange and deeply worrying is happening to them: their flesh and fat are turning blue. And this is not just a little blue,

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife said it had received reports of the bizarre occurrence in March

In an email to SFGATE, Fish and Wildlife pesticide investigations coordinator Ryan Bourbour said that the trapper observed the wild pigs eating directly from rodenticide bait stations. The scope of the contamination appears extensive across the southern part of Monterey County and along the Salinas River, according to KSBW-TV.
