Are they up near the location of the main break, the one which got a “boil water” notice a few days after the repair?

I knew of one in that area who suspected that was the cause of gastrointestinal problems suffered.

No one will ever suggest local seafood as the culprit will they? The lab created microbes that BP dumped into the waters along with the Corexit and oil mix have become highly toxic. It has killed and deformed many of the Gulf inhabitants. the oil is still around and contains very high amounts of a potentially deadly, antibiotic resistant, bacteria. People are swimming in this and continue to est the creatures who live in it. Sooner or later it is bound to build up the bacteria in the digestive tract… But ya won’t hear that in the media…..

Public bathrooms can be hazardous to your health. People should ALWAYS wash their hands after bathroom visits (and sometimes before too) – even in their own homes.

I keep my fridge at 33 degrees and I keep alcohol and hydrogen peroxide in spray bottles in the kitchen for counter-tops, and appliances. Certain meat items that come in a can sometimes can be a little on the bad side and cause these symptoms also. Ask me how I know……lol Also, mayo that’s left out of the fridge too long, then used can cause salmonella – just like using cracked eggs. Salmonella is like having typhoid dysentery, Dr. Stewart said.

Wonder why the sudden increase? Just a virus running it’s course or is there a source, such as a particular food item? I’ve talked to several people who have been battling stomach issues on and off for several weeks now. Funny thing is, none of them are related, but all had been to Pensacola before they all fell I’ll.
