Obviously, the natural headline here is that there are sharks on drugs in the Bahamas. While that was technically happening, that’s a much more sensationalistic take. The reality is that we humans are blissfully unaware of the fact that the drugs we put in us eventually leave us and end up saturating whatever they flow into, like microplastics.

"Saturating" also has a specific meaning that isn't "contains traces of."
