Dead baby seals have been plaguing the coast of California. Recent lab reports reveal that the cause of death for many baby seals was disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), adding further evidence that marine life has been contaminated by radiation from the Fukushima disaster.(1)
DIC is a serious disorder where the proteins that usually control blood clotting become overactive. This can cause the body to use up its supply of platelets and clot-forming proteins, which can result in excessive bleeding.(2)
