Bulgarian Duck Fungus Hits Iowa Decoys

Duck decoys throughout Iowa are experiencing the dreaded Bulgarian Duck Fungus. If you have a duck decoy - please take heed; have your decoy treated at your local DNR office. It is believed that Bulgarian Duck Fungus was introduced to Iowa through careless boat owners who brought it from Branson's Table Rock Lake in southern Missouri. A batch of Mickey Gilley boat stickers from an undisclosed country seem to have brought the fungus to Branson in the first place.

People who have been to a Mickey Gilley show do not seem to be affected, but should watch for any signs of the fungus affecting household appliances or riding mowers. Rumours that Skin-So-Soft is an efficacious treatment are untrue.
