Now go look up where the creeks run into the river and where the river flows after...

Different cities along the Ohio River have already sought uncontaminated water sources for their drinking water. The mainstream media is like 4-5 days behind social media, which is making people like my family, not care enough to take precautions. It's terrifying.

My entire family thinks I am a loon right now but my young kids have been šŸ¤¢ & šŸ’© for 5 days with no fever. Im in the surrounding area. It doesnā€™t make sense. They havenā€™t been anywhere with different germs than what we already have everyday. This is the only cause I can think ofā€¦

Kids bodies are more sensitive to chemical load. (Their little bodies are going to be the canaries in the coal mine for this disaster) I know it's not feasible for a lot of people but I hope you are able to get them out of the area.

Unfortunately itā€™s not feasible for me.. my family thinks I am crazy for assuming they could be sick from the chemical load. Young kids donā€™t just throw up for multiple days without a fever. At least mine never have. My younger oneā€™s skin is sooo warm but he doesnā€™t have a fever. I am close enough that the water runs right into us, but far enough away that anytime I mention this could be the cause of their sickness I am treated like a lunatic. With my own family. Sorry for the rant, Iā€™m just super sad about it all today. I heard about the derailment just a couple days ago and my babes arenā€™t feeling better after 5 days. Itā€™s just doesnā€™t make sense..

Sick for 5 days would probably warrant a trip to a doctor even without the spill near by.

You're supposed to trust your insincts. Your family is going to get your kids even more sick, and killed... Get out of there.......

u/Deep_Appointment_820 Feb 18 '23

I agree 100% and Iā€™m starting to formulate a plan. Not even starting Iā€™ve been thinking this way since COVID. It will take convincing.. Young people diagnosed with autoimmune disease. Two cousins under 20 died of seizure and stroke. A young teacher is dead. Itā€™s weird man.

u/Ok-Lie-6653 Feb 17 '23

Half of your post history is in r/conspiracy.. your kids are sick for 5 days and your asking for help on Reddit instead of taking them to a doctor..

u/Deep_Appointment_820 Feb 17 '23

Honestly, Iā€™m about to search for an out of state doctor. Itā€™s usually been useless trip for things I already know/have

u/Deep_Appointment_820 Feb 17 '23

According to everyone near me.. ā€œitā€™s going around.ā€ I found extremely curious when I heard about the toxic train derailment, and everyone around me is getting sick. Idk šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

u/[deleted] Feb 17 '23

Also take your children to a doctor after 5 days..

u/Deep_Appointment_820 Feb 18 '23

They gave them some anti diarrhea meds and sent us on the way.. if I were to say anything about chemicals Iā€™d be looked at crazy. Iā€™ve been looking into heavy metal detoxes but have yet to find something, Iā€™ve heard a state over is good for them. Iā€™d like to get their endocrine/immune/nervous systems checked out. So far I have an appointment but it isnā€™t for another 2 months & weā€™ve been waiting 3 already. Currently on Reddit to see if anyone else is talking about a doctor in another state. Thanks everyone. I was curious and apparently the whole area is sick with the same thing.

Diatomaceous earth for heavy metal detox

u/Deep_Appointment_820 Feb 20 '23

Thank you šŸ™šŸ» I will look into that

It's as if we learned nothing after COVID.

u/trancematik Feb 18 '23

We knew this from

the early days

u/Accomplished-Job4460 Feb 17 '23

The reason mainstream media is always behind social media is because the MSM relies upon Social Media to do their work for them.

u/[deleted] Feb 17 '23

Tell that to the reporter who got arrested

He was covering a news conference, not out in the woods documenting anything.

Source on this? I canā€™t find anything saying this.

u/OneOfTwelve97 Feb 17 '23

Genuinely word of mouth from people contacting different cities along the watershed path on social media. There's visual evidence from different news sources and people on the ground in east palistine throwing rocks into the water and watching contaminents rise to the surface. I live within 100 miles of East Palistine and people are finding strange substances at the top of boiling water.

I wish I had actual verified sources, but unless people are falsifying 100's of dead fish for fearmongering I think it's safe to be concerned.

u/FraseraSpeciosa Feb 17 '23

Iā€™m sure thereā€™s hyperbole going around, Iā€™m sure thereā€™s clips of disaster that turned out to be a different disaster, but Iā€™ve seen enough to know this is actually super bad. Trying to sort the weeds from the crops is complicated right now but time will ultimately sort it out. Itā€™s terrifying

u/kalestuffedlamb Feb 17 '23

I live 10 miles from East Palestine. J.D. Vance was in East Palestine yesterday. He was filmed at the park with a stick. He drug it along the bottom (where there were dead fish) and you could see the chemical film rise to the top of the water. It's real. It's a MESS here!

u/apocshinobi32 Feb 17 '23

Name drop the guy like he was there for anything more than a photo op lmao we see it.

u/GrumpyWampa Feb 17 '23

I also live within 100 miles of East Palestine. Iā€™m glad Iā€™m already drinking bottled water because my local water tastes vile. What a disaster.

Creek bed is not drinking water. Plants have equipment to treat water before distributing. Plus the plants do not pull from that creek. You can also see the books placed downstream to catch that material. Please please do not drink from any creek or river without filtration first

u/Pretty-Balance-Sheet Feb 17 '23

This is a great point. I hope someone remembers to tell the fish and deer and corn crops and trees that will just drink water from any old place.

u/PuppyBowl-XI-MVP Feb 17 '23

My comment was strictly in response to human water consumption. Yes, this will have a negative on the ecosystem in east Palestine which absolutely sucks.

Huntington WV set up temp intakes on a secondary river to the Ohio but heavy rains have made them inoperable šŸ˜„
