    Iam planning to visit Kodaikanal next week. But since yesterday I have become confused reading some articles on the Internet.

    There are reports of Mercury contamination in Kodaikanal since 2001. The report says that the Lake is contaminated to a great extent,and that the after effects of its exposure is bad for health. WHO says even a small amount of exposure can cause problems for health and women particularly may be affected with respect to fertility issues. The foetus can be affected if pregnant or those planning to have children might be at risk.

    I have known many people who have been travelling to Kodaikanal till now. But since Im TTC, Iam concerned if my fear is overrated or valid enough to give importance to. Can you ladies please advice me if we have drop the plans of visiting Kodaikanal?
