Has anyone seen this article on Yahoo today. Never thought about this and in awe that it could happen. Thank goodness for my bottled spring water wish I were'nt on city water supply Envy those with natural spring or well water right about now.

Flush twice?? Thats is what you guys do with the chemo meds. Down the toilet??

That is i very interesting article. I know we always joke at work about the stoned salmon in our area. We waste 1000's of mgs of drugs down the sink daily.The most interesting thing the hospital i work at has a policy for all its chemo drugs. You have to wear a mask, 2 pair gloves, disposable gown and then flush twice!!!  I often wondered how much of those drugs make it back into our water supply. I guess by flushing twice their hoping it will be the next town overs problem!!! OlyAddict

Yaeh lets just stop flushing em. I am glad i did not read this two weeks ago I would never wanna pee again. I'd hate to waste such good narcotics. LOL It is true if you drink tap water and have city water. That is why I wish we had well or spring water here, but not and thats why we always have gotten bottled spring water to drink we have kids and I never liked tap water for em. I always thought of cancer from other chemicals that might affect em later in life, but never thought about narcotics, sex hormones!! Scary thought what next generation?? Boys with big boobs, girls with five oclock shadow??? AAAAAUUUGGGHHHH

TIME TO STOP FLUSHING THE PILLS.......They should be mixed with water and made into a paste...then mixed w/ cat litter.....

[newmanagment]
