So, Now we have ANOTHER reason not to trust Texas Water systems. Brain Eating Amoebas.

[lil devils x]

So, for a while now, I have been recommending to everyone here to get a reverse osmosis water system for their home because of the severe lacking protections on maintaining our tap water to be safe here. We had a parasite outbreak at a retirement home near here, toxic water killing the fish, Toxic herbicide in the tap water Oh and then there was the whole " Texas has the most radiated Drinking water in the country" stuff a while back so of course we have to NOW have brain eating Amoebas as well, because why not?

It’s 2020, So of Course a Texas City Is Dealing With a Brain-Eating Amoeba in Its Water System

2020 is so far the year of the novel coronavirus, murder hornets, climate change-induced wildfire hell and now: a brain-eating amoeba. Yes, you read that

Report: Toxic herbicide found in many Texans' drinking water

Nearly 500 water utilities across the state tested positive for atrazine — a weed killer — which can lead to harmful health effects, according to a new report. The Environmental Working Group also found that utilities are testing water during times when the herbicide isn't being used as much —...

This actually explains a lot. Living amongst them for over 10 years now, I've observed Texans' brain malfunctions on countless occasions. Just yesterday, I saw several unmasked Texans rooting for the Dallas Cowboys, and thought to myself: "that's just not right." It has to be this brain parasite.

Glad to see the very first reply went there.

I never drink tap water.

DO you bathe in it? All it takes is a shower for it to get into your nose...

I never had shower water up my nose, because I don't like my nose being clogged. I rarely go to the pool, precisely because I'm always worried the water isn't safe. It just makes me feel I would be swimming in STDs. From your articles, I can't see anything too close to downtown San Antonio or Austin. I do my best in not drinking tap water, since i don't trust facilities to be competent.

 

[XsjadoBlayde]

Thats legitimately quite scary. It's easier to avoid accidentally drinking water than it is accidentally snorting it, as weird as that may sound. No plans for a texan holiday anytime soon then! Am sure regulations and standards are just around tbe corner anyway, anyyyytiiime soooon noooow...

 

[CaitSeith]

At least they are addressing the problem. It's better than the countless times when the problem has been found and reported, and nothing has been done to fix it yet.

You don't neccesarily have to point the shower head up your nose for its water to get into your nose.

Sometimes they try but tbh, often most of the time when something is wrong with the water they just add some chlorine and your home smells like bleach for while and then thy do nothing else and the problems still continue long term. The homes smelling like bleach for while makes people believe everything is fine, but in reality that doesn't even solve most of the problems here when they do it. Like when they added Chlorine to treat the " radiation".. LMAO

 

[Dirty Hipsters]

You would think all the pollution and radiation would kill the amoebas. <_<

Only really in relation to 'things in water' stories: I keep a drink next to my bed in case I get thirsty in the night. When I awake in the night, thirsty, I sup the drink. It is dark, because it is the night.

I was in my bedroom (folding the washing, I think; it wasn't anything sexy, probably some holey pants and T-shirts, in which I am inundated) the other day and I saw my drink was there from the night before (cloudy lemonade) and I thought 'I'd best change that for surely I will be thirsty betwixt dusk and dawn, me old mucker'. So I did pick up my glass, and swirling in the depths of the half-glass of cloudy lemonade was the biggest fucking spider I've ever seen (in the UK). It was dead, upside down, Floaty McFloatface. Swear the fucker had teeth on the outside.

I have since purchased a sports bottle with a closeable nozzle. It makes an annoying burble noise when I drink from it, which Mrs B doesn't enjoy, at 3AM but I tell her, 'You wouldn't like me if a thousand spiders hatched out of my belly button, so shhhhhh, sleepy time, you've got work tomorrow.'

I seal all my orifices before I go to sleep, and I let the dog sleep in the bedroom to growl at spiders.

LOL! I just take my aqua colored sweater similar looking to this one:

And wrap it around my head to keep my ears warm since I have to breathe in cold air and if my ears get cold, I get ear infections. Sometimes though when I get up in the middle of the night I forget to take it off and walk around looking ridiculous having this sweater partially hanging off my head. So at least spiders can't get in my ears I guess. I don't open my mouth while I sleep so I only have to worry about my nose... D:

This is why short term resource extraction and current agriculture sucks. In my state of Ohio, the Great Lakes have been massively polluted by algae because rural farmers don't want to limit runoff from their farms.

In Alaska the Trump admin. wants to open the world's greatest copper mine, but in the aftermath, the copper will lead to a once fresh salmon oasis to become unusable.

Mining is poised to carve up this pristine Alaska wilderness

A proposed gold and copper mine in Alaska would require a massive transportation corridor that puts a pristine wilderness at risk.

Yup, the region will pretty much be irreversibly damaged if this is allowed to happen. Likely lead to species extinction and Salmon shortages.
