Americans warned not to eat invasive mussel species
An invasive species of mussels has found its way to Wyoming, but seafood enthusiasts are being warned to steer clear or risk dangerous consequences. More than 500,000 zebra mussels were discovered on a boat lift by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department and, following swift and aggressive action to eradicate them, officials have warned Americans to avoid consuming them. In early May, aquatic invasive species specialists worked with the WGFD Casper office to rid more than half a million of the mussels off of a boat that had been at the Lewis and Clark Recreation Area in South Dakota, Cowboy State Daily reported. Specialist's scalded and killed the mussels with hot water and took every effort to ensure no zebra mussel DNA survived. The distinct looking mussel, with tan stripes, more closely biologically resembles that of a clam, but their functions remain similar. Zebra mussels are filter feeders, according to the National Park Service, and siphon particles of plankton from the water. Yet, their fast reproduction rates and insatiable appetite can cause harm to waters and its native species if infestation is not prevented. Zebra mussels of a large population can quickly eradicate almost all floating particles from a body of water, robbing food from species that feed on plankton and exposing prey in the clearer waters. Once an infestation occurs, there is little to be done, therefore officials focus heavily on preventative action to avoid infested waters. Cheyenne chef Petrina Peart told Cowboy State Daily: 'Zebra mussels can be cooked and consumed, but I don't think it'll be worth the potential digestive issues that may follow.' Their constant water filtration typically leads to their harboring a lot of harmful bacteria, which is true for all mussels. 'Freshwater mussels consume plankton and with it any toxins that are present in the water. They make for great water filtration but may not make for a great Amuse Bouche.' When cooking mussels, wine is often used to help kill off any harmful bacteria that may be present. 'Mussels have to be harvested from clean and uncontaminated waters and cooked thoroughly,' Peart said. 'Lots of butter, lemon and fresh herbs couldn't hurt, but there could still be potentially harmful bacteria. Wine is used in mussel recipes to help kill bacteria. It also happens to be delicious.' Some invasive mussel species infestations were solved through consumption, such as the green iguana species. 'The green iguana is an invasive species in the Cayman Islands,' Peart told the outlet. 'They have created dishes and cuisine around the efforts to eradicate destructive invasive iguana species by turning them into something mainstream.' And while the solution worked well, zebra mussels are also much smaller than green iguanas. The largest zebra mussel only reaches around two inches long at most. Peart can see how 'from a problem solving standpoint,' turning to consuming zebra mussels could help eradicate them, but doesn't necessarily think that means it's a good idea. 'I won't lie - I skipped the iguana soup while in the Cayman Islands, and I'll probably skip the zebra mussels too,' she said, with no plans to add them to her menu.

Sydney Sweeney opens up about living in a Holiday Inn for eight months as a teen after her parents went bankrupt - as her jaw-dropping property portfolio is revealed
Sydney Sweeney opened up about having to live in a Holiday Inn for eight months as a teenager after her parents were declared bankrupt. The Euphoria star, 27, is now a multi-million dollar success story after making it in acting with roles in Anyone But You, The White Lotus and The Handmaid's Tale. But back before hitting the big time her family found themselves in hard times when her mother, Lisa, a criminal defence lawyer, her father who worked in hospitality were declared bankrupt. In 2013 when she was 16, her parents who are now divorced, sold their home in Washington and for eight months she lived in a hotel with them and her brother. She told The Times of her tough childhood: 'We lived in the Holiday Inn in Burbank [northwest LA] for eight and a half months but it felt like my entire life. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'We were sharing a one-bedroom hotel room, no kitchen, no balcony. A pull-out sofa bed, where my dad and brother slept, my mom and me in the bed… My brother and I tried to make the best of it - we would joke around and say we were in The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. 'We'd run around the different hallways and find stairwells and make friends with all the staff and they would make us grilled cheese.' In a far cry from her beginnings Sydney now boasts an incredible property portfolio after finding her own financial success thanks to her movie and TV work. She owns a £4.5million Bel Air home, another Tudor-style home in LA that is worth £3.3million. Sydney then has a £10.2million compound in the Florida Keys as well as several back home in the Pacific Northwest. She went on to tell the times that she is also currently looking at places to buy in New York, Texas, Italy and London. In the interview Sydney kept her answers short and sweet when asked about the status of her relationship with Jonathan Davino. The actress, who has been selling soap made with her bathwater, made the revelations while speaking with The Times about her upcoming series Echo Valley. In 2013 when she was 16, her parents who are now divorced, sold their home in Washington and for eight months she lived in a hotel with them and her brother The Euphoria star, who was seen without her engagement ring in February, came clean about the breakup when asked if she was planning a wedding. 'No,' was the answer. She answered 'yes,' when asked if she was single, adding, 'I'm learning a lot about myself, spending more time with my friends. And I'm loving it.' She and Davino, 41, had been together since 2018 and got engaged in 2022. He was a producer on her successful romcom, Anyone But You, co-starring Glen Powell. She and the 36-year-old Texan had such chemistry in the film that many wandered if they were a couple at the time, especially since they decided to lean into the spark while promoting the movie. For now, Sweeney is happy to share snuggles and go on outdoor activities with her dogs Sully Bear and Tank, work on restoring vintage cars, and create a real estate empire. It comes as some Sydney fans have not reacted warmly to her latest brand partnership — a limited-edition Dr. Squatch soap bar containing her used bathwater. The Spokane, Washington-bred actress announced the item, called Bathwater Bliss, on Thursday, sparking backlash from her 25 million Instagram followers who called the product 'weird' and 'gross.' And on Friday, she subtly trolled the critics as she stepped out in a white bathrobe while on set for a campaign with HEYDUDE shoes. According to the Squatch brand, the soap contains actual droplets of Sydney's used bathwater. It's meant to be a nod to her Pacific Northwest roots and a cheeky answer to the internet's obsession with the blonde bombshell, per GQ. In Thursday's social media post, Sydney wrote in the caption, 'You kept asking about my bathwater after the @drsquatch ad… so we kept it. 'Introducing Sydney's Bathwater Bliss! A very real, very limited-edition soap made with my actual bathwater. Available on 6/6/25 at ✨.' One fan wrote under the photo of the product — which features an animation of the beauty — 'Sydney honey I love you but I don't know about this.' In her interview with GQ, the Euphoria sensation said, 'I honestly think it's a really fun, full-circle moment, because fans always joke about wanting my bathwater…' Plugging the soap, she described, 'It's super soft, it's really pretty. I'm looking at it right now. It's marbly and has blues and a little bit of brown in it.' Amid the pushback, one delighted fan joked in a comment, 'Thanks, I'll take 100,' and collected nearly 3,000 likes. Someone else wrote facetiously, 'This is edible, right?' Others were in disbelief, with one social media user commenting, 'no way this is a real thing.' Meanwhile, another wrote, 'Hey, so let's be serious,' while a different person begged, 'Can we not normalize this.'
