1 июля. Судя по американским форумам 90% людей в северной Флориде, от Панамы, Таллахасе, до Джаксонвилля испытывают затруднения с дыханием, жжение в горле, сухой язык и другие аллергические реакции на присутствие ядовитых газов в воздухе: http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread589131/pg1
Уже 400 человек серьезно заболели надышавшись парами на берегу знаменитого Pensacola Beach:
Рыбаки, на которых попали брызки воды с содержанием диссперсанта COREXIT, изпытывают непроходящие головные боли, рези в дыхательных путях, перебои с сердцем и внутренние кровотечения:
8 июля: CNN: BP нам врут. Никакого сокращения использования дисперсанта COREXIT 9500 не происходит! Жуткий научный эксперимент над всеми нами продолжается:
17 июля В тестах воды, радом с которой живут люди найдено нефти от 100 до 250 частей на миллион. Примерно столько же, сколько COREXIT в дожедевой воде. А последний образец вообще взорвался в лаборатории - скорее всего из-за большого количества растворенного метана
25 июля Инженеры Армии США подтверждают: Токсичные дожди неминуемы! U.S. Army Corps of Engineers now confirms toxic rain inevitable from Oil Spill: It is very sobering to look again at the towns and cities of the Gulf coast given a report by investigative journalist, Wayne Madsen, that quotes ‘sources’ inside the U.S. government, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as predicting a ‘dead zone’ within 200 miles of the rig caused by a combination of methane and toxic rain containing Corexit. http://www.agoracosmopolitan.com/home/Frontpage/2010/07/25/03234.html
28 июля Все описываемые ниже симптомы совпадают с описанием доктора Рики Отт, кандидата наук по морской токсикологии:
Основное действие дисперсанта: разбивает нефть на мелкие частицы невидимые глазом, которые перемешиваются с водой и не всплывают на поверхность. Сам дисперсант растворяет мемраны (стенки) клеток живых организмов и позволяет нефти и другой химии попасть в клетку, что ее убивает. Так как нервные клетки не регенерируются, как кожные покровы, то их поражение НЕ ВОССТАНОВИМО.
=====================================
After it rained the other day here in the MidWest, Missouri, I have had some symptoms I'd like to discuss with anyone experiencing similar or concerned about the 'fallout' from the BP disaster and the Gulf stream winds and rain.
Here is what I am experiencing:
Staying out just a few minutes after the light rain began to fall, I noticed a slight metallic taste on the sides of my tongue.
Within 30 minutes my head began to pound, and that night I woke with a very nasty taste in my mouth and felt my upper lungs begin to feel infected.
The next day I felt lethargic and gradually more concerned about having been exposed to a toxic mix from the Gulf disaster.
Last night I was spitting up chest mucus and continued to have a really infected taste in my mouth.
Today, I took some meds to clear the lungs and felt pretty good otherwise. I couldnt get enough to drink, and there is a slight elevated temp, but being very healthy I think might have helped.
The headache has been constant.
Anyway, I know that there are several BP threads that are so important, and I follow them daily, but I also did not want to try and discuss the health effects of my worries and derail the important topics being discussed.
======================================
Well I am in Missouri as well and I have the same symptoms. However I also traveled to Louisiana several times last week(crazy story).
I have a bad cough and a sore throat my daughter has the same and so does my driving partner. We were all caught in the rain during one of our trips down but did not start feeling bad until the rain in our home area(Mid-Missouri). However I have not been "in" the rain here.
======================================
I am in Ontario Canada. For some reason, I am experiencing the same symptoms. I am a landscaper, as my friend is, and he has the same thing.
Now, it could just be a flu or something, but that taste you described is what i am experiencing. My cheeks seem to be sore as well. If you have sore cheeks(all around the mouth) please do tell.
======================================
We are having the foul taste as well. My daughter has a sore that erupted on the roof of her mouth and we just keep rinsing it with salt water. It is all very strange.
======================================
My 9 year old daughter has complained of her throat and eyes burning for about 3 days now, and yesterday after coming in from the rain about 5 minutes later I had a migraine and I feel today like I am getting a chest cold. No metallic taste, but I woke up this morning feeling like I had a hangover.
======================================
We had a few good rains over here in Virginia over the past few days, and I too, am experiencing these symptoms.
======================================
I am in Ohio and with the exception of the metallic taste, I too am having these same symptoms and so is one of my daughters. I don't think its the oil spill though as I am no where near it.
======================================
I hate to admit this, but it rained last night here in Michigan as well. Today, all of my kids have the same symptoms that you all are describing. I was in the rain more than them, but I do not have their eye and throat symptoms. Instead, my whole body is itching like crazy since last night. Oil spill, airplane chem trails, Corexit, or what?
======================================
Upstate New York. We are all having the same symptoms (3 people in household, plus other family and friends). I am past 2 weeks with it now. I usually fight things off easily, but can't seem to shake this one. As far as I know it did not come on from being in the rain. First was high temp with stomach cramps, then extreme fatigue and muscular ache with chest and nose thing. The nasty taste in my mouth is probably from having germs in my throat , chest and nose. My friend saw the doctor, he was diagnosed with BACTERIAL sinusitis and Bronchitis. I don't get sick often and never in tha summer time. I have been with my boyfriend for 12 years now and this is the first time I have ever known him to have a fever.
======================================
As for sores in the mouth, yes my son has broken out with a cold sore on the corner of his mouth.
I have been having severe chest pains that mimic indigestion. It starts in the front but 'punches' it's way into my back, it has left me sweating and very lethargic.
I keep on keeping on, but man this is awful nasty stuff.
I read here where someone is experiencing symptoms like sinusitis, and that is exactly what I decided the foul taste is like, I once had an infected tooth that when removed caused the infection to go into my sinus, and well although that was many years ago I will never forget the taste and smell.
I was just laying on the couch trying to rest for a few, when it hit me, this needs sea salt nasal spray, and every hour on the hour if anyone gets this.
======================================
My lungs been hurting lately like I've been smoking again...
Throats sore... North GA
======================================
Palm Beach County Florida here...
After a light rain the other day I had a similar experience...
1) Light persistent headache, not that bad, just there in the background for a looooong time!
2) Heavy mucus from lungs, upper chest. A little sore in the lungs, toward the top of the lungs.
3) Very Thirsty, all the time... water, water, water!
4) My taste is off... that is not to say I have a metallic taste but many of the foods I taste have a more... bland taste. It is kind of like the way your taste is affected when you have the flu (I do not have the flu).
5) Cannot wake up in the morning. I usually am up as soon as the sun hits my eyes... wide awake and ready to go. However, I have slept in for 2 morning after... very late, woke up at like 10:00AM in stead of like 5-5:30. Very, very, unlike my body. Even when I had the flu many, many years ago (I have not had the flu or cold for 15 years or better, very healthy), I would still wake up real early.!?
6) Persisted for about 24 hours, then started to slowly die down over the next 24 hours after the rain.
=======================================
At the same time my 18 year old bobtail siamese became very ill as well. I dont want to discuss it, but yes, animals have been appearing to be off as well.
=======================================
Maybe it is just a HUGE coincidence? Maybe I have not ruled that out, but I am just not used to having this kind of crud, not at this time of year and not all these weird BP related symptoms.
I know if I went to a DR, I would get the usual BS. All natural I am. But man, there were a few hours here and there I thiought about antibiotics...
Im going to go take some more tylenol now for my head ache...
My family just left prior to this who had accupunture needles, now that is my type of healing! I feel like I could have them all over my scalp, lol.
=======================================
We have all had sore throats, sore mouth/ulcers and a funny taste and we are in the UK.
My mouth was so bad for a couple of days that it hurt to eat and it stung when eating tomato/fruit based foods. My son now has an ear infection.
Has the pollution spread over here in the rain already? Or is it just a seasonal/summer illness that is doing the rounds?
=======================================
I'm in the UK and weekend before last (16th - 19th) I was camping at a music festival. Torrential rain and heavy winds. All last week I (and other friends who were at the festival) have suffered similar symptoms, from the metallic taste to a throbbing headache, and my throats been swollen. (any of you that have me on facebook probably seen my whinging status updates, lol)
=======================================
A biochemical bomb went off in the Gulf of Mexico on April 20, 2010--as dangerous and destructive as a nuclear blast.
While an atom bomb’s destruction can be measured immediately after detonation, BP’s unintentional biochemical bomb is a slow-motion explosion that's driving a continuing disaster. Unfortunately, lingering death occurs with both types of explosions.
Millions exposed to uncontrolled hemorrhaging, lesions, cancers
Recently, frustrated scientists presented evidence that millions of Gulf area residents were poisoned by the BP Gulf disaster. Worse, they believe that millions more could be exposed to long term poisoning.
