Public Health Service reports Eskimos and Indians in Alaska who eat reindeer and caribou have about 22 times more radioactive cesium than the U S average. Even non staple eaters show four times the national cesium level, linked to lichen the animals consume. Levels deemed not immediately dangerous remain a public health concern.
