Don't drink the water!

 The community of Flint, across the St. Claire river from us, has an ongoing problem with their water and a lot of people have died from drinking what comes out of the tap!

Now it seems like they're not alone!

  • Certain communities in Texas were warned over the weekend not to use tap water for anything other than flushing toilets after a rare brain-eating amoeba was found in the public water supply. 

  • The microbe, naegleria fowleri, is found in freshwater and soil, and if it gets up the nose can cause a potentially fatal brain illness. 

  • The advisory was issued after a six-year-old boy died of the illness caused by the microbe that ate his brain!!!!!!!!!! 

  • Late Saturday the notice was lifted, but a water boiling notice remains in place for the city of Lake Jackson where officials are decontaminating the local water supply.

Gee, I guess that doesn't do much for property values in that town eh! (Here's some other residents after drinking the tap water......!)
