As if insult was not bad enough when they started spraying for West Nile Virus infected mosquitoes.\u00a0 Now Dallas County plans to move forward with aerial spraying of Dallas.\u00a0 That’s definitely adding injury to insult! (Yes – I know it’s backwards – but it’s how it is)<\/p>\n
WNV is reported to give the same symptoms as the flu or a “summer cold”\u00a0 including fever.\u00a0 There are 9 (so far) reported “confirmed deaths” from WNV in Dallas county.\u00a0 In EACH of those cases – they have refused to give basic information about the deaths.\u00a0 What was the victim’s age?\u00a0 What other health issues did they have?<\/p>\n
Well – What health issues are the “powers that be” going to spray onto us?\u00a0 they DON’T KNOW.\u00a0 They say “Bring your pets in, Stay Inside” and in the same sentence they proclaim that it’s “Safe”.\u00a0 Huh? Do you really think that we believe this line of dialogue?<\/p>\n
Even the EPA recommends using spot control to eliminate mosquito larvae at the “local levels”. (See document here: http:\/\/www.epa.gov\/pesticides\/health\/mosquitoes\/mosquito.htm<\/a> )<\/p>\n The EPA lists steps as:<\/p>\n Bacterial Insecticides<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Folks,\u00a0 please… Contact your local city representative and OPPOSE the blanket aerial spraying of YOUR city for West Nile Virus.\u00a0 It is my position that the people that do unfortunately succumb to the symptoms of the WNV – *really* have other underlying health issues that make them susceptible to an additional stress upon their body.\u00a0 We saw it with H1N1 (Swine Flu).\u00a0 The people that died and were confirmed as having been tested positive for H1N1 – ALREADY HAD MAJOR MEDICAL ISSUES THAT THEY WERE DEALING WITH.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I have a close friend that had H1N1 at the time of his death.\u00a0 He also suffered from stage 3 emphysema.\u00a0 Who got the blame for the death, though?\u00a0 Piggie Flu.<\/p>\n What can YOU do to help?<\/p>\n Folks – PLEASE – be an educated resident of your locale.\u00a0 CARE for your family and neighbors.\u00a0 Don’t let your city become a gas-chamber for a slow-release cancer than may not show up for years – or it may show up in the upcoming fetal generations.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As if insult was not bad enough when they started spraying for West Nile Virus infected mosquitoes.
