Ducks Die From Botulism Epidemic At Lake Merritt
Up to a dozen ducks die daily from botulism on Lake Merritt, with about 100 of the year round duck community already dead. Naturalist Paul Covel says it is type C botulism, possibly traced to a gull fed on a carcase, and notes antitoxin is no longer manufactured. He hopes cooler weather and rain may curb the outbreak before migrant ducks arrive.
