How? Because human sewage contaminated with the virus was being used to fertilize the fields.

Do you Know what I do on Sunday? - Maitre - 06-09-2008 Quote:Hello :w00t: In Virginia, the production and application of Biosolids (humanure for use in agriculture) is monitored and regulated by two seperate agencies: the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) regulates the facilities that collect the "raw" materials and produce this fertilizer, and the Department of Health handles permitting and regulation of the application of these materials. However, the DEQ can get involved on the "back-end" if the land abuts contiguous waters and therefore could return materials to drinking water sources in the form of run-off. The biosolids initiative is one of the governers pet projects, along with municipal waste incinerators for power generation. Both of which are causing big increases in monitoring, permitting and regulation staff commitments whlie the state is in a hiring freeze, and is offereing years of service credit to staffers close to retirement if they'll leave their jobs now. With regard to Sunday, I flew home from a wedding in Atlanta. An outdoor wedding at 5PM, in June, in Atlanta. Brilliant planning that.

Nah not worth getting kicked off the forums for making it. :D Do you Know what I do on Sunday? - ShadowHM - 06-09-2008 On Sunday, I loaded an old hot water tank, an ancient pressure tank and an equally ancient oil heater into my car and took them to the dump. (It only cost me $5 to leave them there.) Then I mucked about in the pumphouse, trying to achieve the last step in the saga of 'replace the pump that stopped working'. I managed to jury-rig a connection from the new pump to the pipe to the cottage and achieved that most essential of modern luxuries - running water. :w00t: Then I had a mercifully brief conversation with my brother-in-law about his latest notion for 'improving the waterfront'. (It ended with me saying: "If you must go ahead, please give me a written acknowledgement that you will pay any fines arising from your project.") <_< Then I washed the dishes, washed the floors, packed the car and drove home through thundershowers. Oh, and yes, the issue of humanure is one that I contemplate every time I check the ancient septic tank at the cottage. :rolleyes: Do you Know what I do on Sunday? - --Pete - 06-09-2008 Hi, Quote::rolleyes:Welcome back. --Pete Do you Know what I do on Sunday? - kandrathe - 06-10-2008 Quote:Where is your farm kandrathe, is it in...Near Cambridge. The farms up here look like this. In the latest news; The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said that since mid-April, 145 people infected with salmonella with the same "genetic fingerprint" have been identified. At least 23 people have been hospitalized. A 67-year-old cancer patient in Texas who health officials said was sickened by salmonella at a Mexican restaurant is believed to be the first death associated with the outbreak. The death of Raul Rivera last week has been officially attributed to his cancer, but Houston health department spokeswoman Kathy Barton told the Houston Chronicle in Tuesday's editions that the salmonella strain was a contributing factor. Rivera's wife said he was hospitalized after eating pico de gallo, a tomato-based condiment, in late May while celebrating good news about his cancer treatment. Salmonella is a bacteria that lives in the intestinal tracts of humans and other animals. The bacteria are usually transmitted to humans by eating foods contaminated with animal feces. Adds new meaning to that colorful phrase, "Eat excrement and die." |
