    Doctor encourages West Coasters to get blood tested for 1080 poisoning

    A doctor's encouraging West Coasters to get their blood tested - checking for cellular damage from 1080 poison.


    Charles Baycroft is concerned people's health may be compromised in July's 1080 drop - publishing a letter in a community newsletter distributed from Ross to Haast.

    He says evidence shows 1080 causes cellular damage and can harm vital organs.

    Resident Eileen Jones says she's considering getting her blood tested - knowing how hard it is to avoid 1080 dust, from previous experience.
