A warning to all outdoor professionals.

“The exact number isn’t so important,” said Dr Victoria Cairns, the lead author of the study. “The point is that it’s a lot, and it’s everywhere, and that’s why people should be informed.

Grease: term used by medieval hunters for the fat on game. Red or Fallow deer fat = 'suet', 'tallow' roe-buck = 'bevy grease', when the deer was at its fattest it was n 'high grease' or 'the pride of grease' Coney and hare (not much surely) fox, marten, otter, badger = grease.
