The two new consumption advisory areas were based upon the testing of 54 deer and 55 turkeys in eastern Kennebec and western Waldo counties for the presence of PFAS.

The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife has issued a new advisory for the public concerning PFAS and hunting.

Officials say the two new consumption advisory areas were based upon the testing of 54 deer and 55 turkeys in eastern Kennebec and western Waldo counties for the presence of PFAS.

Authorities are warning residents not to eat wild deer or turkey after testing found dangerous levels of "forever chemicals" in the area's wildlife.
