Jerald Fagliano, project manager with the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services, said game animals are safe, but residents should avoid wild carrots. His statement clarified a state health warning about eating squirrels that was issued in January, based on the EPA report of high levels of lead in a squirrel tested in October 2006. That advisory will now be rescinded, said Ken Petrone, the state Department of Environmental Protection’s case manager for Ringwood.
