This is coolbert:
"Water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink" - Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) in The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (1798).
The military USA seems to have a bad habit in this regard. Contaminated water as drunk by military personnel, civilian employees, dependents.
1. "Pearl Harbor water poisoned after multiple errors at fuel storage facility, Navy report says"
"Around 6,000 people treated for nausea, headaches, rashes"
From WND News Services |July 1, 2022.
"(FOX NEWS) – The U.S. Navy is planning to defuel Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility, a massive World War II-era military-run tank farm in the hills above Pearl Harbor, after an investigation revealed multiple mistakes and mismanagement caused fuel to leak into Pearl Harbor's tap water last year."
2. "Camp Lejeune water contamination".
"The Camp Lejeune water contamination problem occurred at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune from 1953 to 1987. During that time, United States Marine Corps (USMC) service members and their families living at the base bathed in and ingested tap water that was contaminated with harmful chemicals at concentrations from 240 to 3400 times levels permitted by safety standards. An undetermined number of former base residents later developed cancer or other ailments, which many blame on the contaminated drinking water. Victims claim that USMC leaders concealed knowledge of the problem and did not act properly in trying to resolve it or notify former base residents that their health might be at risk."
Ailments as associated with the contaminated water Camp Lejeune listed as but hardly I think limited to:
* Kidney Cancer * Liver Cancer * Breast Cancer * Bladder Cancer * Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma * Lung Cancer * Prostate Cancer * Birth Defects * Miscarriages.
Take your poison and take your pick?
