US Water
...please tell me that I'm not the only one who's rather creeped out by the fact that the US water apparently is drugged?
Well, certainly, it's not intentional. But it's still damn creepy.
And personally? I'm rather worried about the fact that they found naproxen in New Orleans's water.
But that could be because, y'know, I'm allergic to the stuff and I don't want to go testing just how low my tolerance for the stuff is.
Apparently, though, there are no methods of cleaning this stuff out of the water. And it's not just the US water, either. It's water all over the world - apparently, we don't metabolize the doses of medication as well as we thought we did, so a good portion of it goes out with the rest of what our body deems to be waste products.
*mrrs*
Okay, sure the procedures that're needed to get this stuff out of the water are expensive - or non-existant, so far. But y'know what? We're supposed to have the brightest minds of our age. If we cannot find methods that are less expensive - or invent ones that work better and cheaper - then I'd say that's a point of failure on our part, as the world.
