Too Late!!!!!! WV Governor Orders Leaking Tanks Removed After Babies Burned--WV Officials Say Burns "Nothing To Worry About"--It's Just Red Skin (picture))

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Monica Davis

The Governor of West Virginia is shutting the barn door after the cows have gottenout and trampled everyone in sight. In a press conference, Governor      said he has ordered Freedom Industries to brgin tearing down and dismantling  all of its above ground tanks, piping and machines from the Elk ‘river Terminal along the Elk River.  The company must remove all of those tanks by March 15.

Theorder was issued Friday,k January 24.

Threehundred thousand West Virginia residents drank the water. Many who were exposed to the contamainated water experienced rashes, irritated eyes and chemical burns.  Many wondered who is going to pay for costs associated with  the chemical clean up of the rivers in the  Ohio River Basin which werre contaminated.

They also wonder who will pay for the  long-term health damage, including possible cancers and organ damage assiciated with thusspill. Guven the bankruptcy of the company which ownesthe tanks, where’s the money going to come from?

Cincunnati closed its water plant and used reserves to keep from using Ohio River water as it flowed downstream from West Virginia. Louisville, Kentucky and Evansville, Indiana, which don’[t have enough storage reserve to shut down their facilities and run on reserves, used expensive carbon filters for the duration.

Who is going to pay for that?

The company  is reportedly trying to outrun IRS tax liens and  several class action lawsuits by declaring bankruptcy.  Who is going to pay for the longterm health problems, cancers,lung diseases that exposure to this chemical will cause?

Who?????

The US taxpayer. If longterm exposure causses longterm disability, then citizens may tap the federal disabiity program.

Welcome to the multibillion dollar process of privatizing profits and public debt.

According to a conference call, WVA officials say the reason the water is unsafe for pregnant womeen is that it may riskthe developing fetus. And the “burns”, the government says is basically “red skin.”

Now, that is ignorant, arrogant and doesn’t fully understand what a chemical burn is. Would you call a burn from a fire just “red skin?”

Read this, share it,and scream.

 
Why is the water unsafe for pregnant women to drink but considered safe for everyone else to consume? 
Doctors routinely advise pregnant women to avoid consuming a number of things—including caffeine, alcohol, raw or undercooked meat, unpasteurized dairy products, luncheon meats and hot dogs.  Fetal cells are continuing to develop, which is why pregnant women have been encouraged to continue drinking bottled water until there are no longer detectable levels of MCHM in the water distribution system.  The CDC provided us the guideline “out of an abundance of caution,” just the same as we do for caffeine, alcohol and unpasteurized dairy products.
 
What is causing the burns/rashes and emergency room visits, if people are using “safe” water?
We’ve been monitoring everyone who has presented to the hospital, and what they’ve been complaining of is not a burn like you and I would think of as a burn. Some doctors have described it as a “solar burn” which is similar to a sunburn.  Basically, it’s red skin.  Everyone has different sensitivities and as we move through the flushing process, sediment has been stirred up from your hot water tank and the pipes.  Some sediment may be coming through the shower that you don’t even see. Because everyone has different sensitivities, some may be experiencing this and some may not.
 
These are topical only.  They’re short-lived.  They are easily treated with over-the-counter products.  I would advise anybody who is seeing this type of reaction to speak with your physician.  They won’t last.  Once things settle down, these symptoms will go away.  
Can children under three years of age consume the water?
DHHR confirmed the only guidance from the CDC is that “due to limited availability of data, and out of an abundance of caution, you may wish to consider an alternative drinking water source for pregnant women until the chemical is at non-detectable levels in the water distribution system.”  The CDC provided information that they believe there is no evidence to suggest that water levels below the laboratory limit of detection of 10 parts per billion (1/100 parts per million) would have adverse health effects, including for pregnant women.  Children were considered in these guidelines.  Short-term exposure at these levels is not likely to cause any adverse health effects for children or others.
Are there known risks associated with this chemical mixing with household cleaners?
No.  Household cleaning can continue normally.  MOREHERE
Speaking of chemical BURNS:
As of Saturday, a total of 411 patients had been treated at 10 hospitals for reported chemical exposure since Jan. 9, according to Allison Adler, a spokeswoman for the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources. Twenty patients had been admitted to four hospitals. None of them are still in the hospital and none of them were in critical condition, Adler said.  MOREHERE

      it disappeared between Louisville, KYand Evansville, IN. Somewhere in a 110 or so mile stretch, it comoletely disappeared, or if u r a paranoid person such as meself: it combined with other nsty chemicals in the water to become something thyare not testing for :sad:

      So, let’s say we believe MCHM is “not so bad.” What about the radioactive fracking materials that were ALSO in the tanks?

      And this is RICH from our dear government.

      I experienced nausea when I flushed my pipes, why is this?
      It is important to remember we have old pipes, new pipes, copper pipes and iron pipes—flushing is causing the sediment to be stirred up. Even small amounts of copper can cause people to feel sick to their stomach and can make people vomit. This will not continue—it is a result of the flushing process.

      Why are so many people going to the hospital?
      There are a couple of reasons—we’re in the middle of flu season and virus season. Many of us haven’t been able to consistently wash our hands with soap and water. While the sanitizer is good for cleaning, it isn’t great for eliminating a virus. Some people are getting these viruses, as many people do every winter. In addition, a lot of people are getting very anxious. Anxiety is a real diagnosis and it can be really hard on people and its okay to be seen by a health professional to ensure you’re okay. The flushing process may have caused the side effects as noted above. Also, the number of people who have been seen in hospitals is a very small number of people as it relates to the affected population. No one has been seriously ill. No one remains hospitalization.

      Wow. Many only experienced neurological events that may be permanent…is all. But, hey, government says it must be the flu, so it must be the flu, right?

        Duh, me and my links. I thought I’d double checked that one: that’s what I get. Thnks Hologram :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

      This article mentions welcome federalizing companies for “PROFIT” and “DEBT.” Since when to the citizens of the USA share in any of the profits of any publicly owned company from any bailout or bancruptcy? Where is the “GREAT BIG RETURN ON THE TARP LOANS?” What really happened and nobody knows this, or hardly anyone; Companies like GM were all given “off the books cash” to repay the loans so the corrupt politicians would not look as stupid and corrupt as they are. So there have already been two, not one, but two TARP bailouts, it’s just nobody knows about the secret second, under the table, handouts. Your leaders are robbing you all blind. They are as corrupt as they come. Paulson, Geitner, Bernanke and their crew of cronie treasonous bastards. I’m glad they live in the USA. They would not make it overseas. I can’t wait until martial law hits the USA and watch the citizens of the USA, after they realize how badly they were screwed, find a way in to the DUMBS and get their hands on these treasonous bastards. I wonder what will happen. Let’s hope some HAM operators will broadcast it so we can laugh across the pond. It will be like those shows that run for fifty years. What do you call them? Soaps? I want to hear the play by play. “So and So” was caught today and hung upside down by his balls as Obama watched while he had one hand in his pants playing pocket pool. See! It’s funny already.
