Water

[arialmina]

Hi al. I was on holiday and i am back to work. Up and going. I live in a small town in South Africa for almost 26 years. I am 27.I love this town, but there is one problem. You hear of more "sv" than any place i know. We have one of the largest iron ore companies in the world. We havea site where you can ask questions. People are asking if there is something wrong with our water because of the lot of virusses. Because they say there isn't a problem with the water.


Everyday i fear this "sv". I cant run from it. Almost every week you hear of someone who was sick. Or who was in the hospital. I am so tired of being afraid. I am losing weight and people dont understand why. [img]smileys/smilies_09.gif[/img]

I suppose there are no ways for you to get bottled water or something
for the time being? Even if you boiled the water it may give you some
temporary peace.

If the company says that there is nothing wrong with the water then its
hard to fight them unless you could actually prove that there was.
Although, I've heard of alot of coverups done by big business's, so if
alot of people are getting sick there may be something wrong with the
water and later on they'll get busted. Until just hang tight and try to
stay healthly enough to fight anything off.

My suggestion is if you really think it is the water, then boil it!


There is also a chance that the SV keeps on spreading because everyone is so close to each other, which is common in a small town. The germs just stay together and people keep on passing them back and forth.


Is there any chance some of illnesses might be related to hygenine or sewage issues? You can always contact your health department (if you have one) and get stuff checked out.
