Londoners are taking so much cocaine that the class A drug can be found in the River Thames - and it's making the eels hyperactive.
Cocaine from users' urine has been detected in increasing quantities, research from the Thames monitoring station near the Houses of Parliament has shown.
The drug should be removed from the capital's water supply by treatment and dilution, however, the research has shown that the system is failing and the constant detection of cocaine could affect wildlife.

Eels migrate up the Thames every year between April and October, but face many hazards and obstacles and are regarded as critically endangered.
They are usually found close to the estuary, travelling as far as Greenwich. The class A drug found in the water affects their behaviour and makes them more erratic.
Downpours that overwhelm waste plant systems and carry sewage into the river added to the phenomena, the research said.
'Increases in caffeine, cocaine and benzoylecgonine [a metabolite] were observed 24 hours after sewer overflow events,' King's College London researchers told The Sunday Times' Science editor Jonathan Leake.
It comes as cocaine use is on the rise throughout the UK, bringing with it a grisly death toll.
Last year the spike in deaths from cocaine use - which has almost quadrupled in seven years - was revealed.
There were 432 deaths related to the drug in England and Wales in 2017, compared with 371 the previous year and 112 in 2011, figures from the Office for National Statistics reveal.

The number of deaths from the drug increased for the sixth year running, with 7.5 deaths per million population last year.
The UK has a higher rate of cocaine use than anywhere else in Europe, with 9.7 per cent of people having reported using the drug.
Powdered cocaine is the second most used drug in Britain after cannabis, with 875,000 people reporting having used it in the last year.
One possible reason for the rise in deaths is that the purity of street cocaine across Europe has increased every year from 2010, according to the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction.
Production in nations such as Colombia has also increased.
'We've seen a year-on-year increase in the purity of cocaine,' Dr Prun Bijral, medical director at charity Change Grow Live, said.
'And so we're seeing an increased demand, an increased availability and a reduced price.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
