Fire Fighters Falling Sick and Leaving in Groves
Fox News just showed a clip from yesterday in New Orleans, interviewing a Fire Fighter who was rescuing people in a small boat, he was walking in front pulling the boat, the reporter asked him how he was doing,

fire fighter said he was getting sick, and had to get "out of there", and that many---many of his fellow fire fighters had gotten sick in the last couple of days,......has anyone heard this??

if this is a duplicate, sorry, I havenīt seen yet

"Yes...even breathing in the air in the floods is dangerous.
This may be just the tip of the iceberg as far as water and airborne illness goes."

Time to break out the bio suits.

Re: Fire Fighters Falling Sick and Leaving in Groves
A few mornings ago on their scanner they were asking for antibiotic (?) shots for "infected blisters."

Couple nights ago they wanted a lot of Immodium or equivalent.

Theyīre walking in dead things.

After the first helicopter crash last night, a Blackhawk swamped an airboat out in the muck. Capsized the boat and dumped the rescue personnel into the water. They were rushed into decontamination, but they swallowed that slime.

The place is crawling with ... things.

The ultimate death toll for rescue personnel is going to be higher than it was on 911. Itīs just taking them longer to die this time.

Just the psychological impact alone is enough to cause a heart attack.

I think theyīre gonna die and otherwise pay the price much quicker than the 911 rescuers and workers whose main ailments are respitory and long-term - Trade Center cough, for example. We are going to see these guys get visibly much sicker much quicker. It makes me me so sad.

"The ultimate death toll for rescue personnel is going to be higher than it was on 911."

Probably, for those that survive the initial catastrophe. But letīs not forget, four years ago today, there were over 400 NYC firefighters, police, and rescue personnel living their lives. Three days later, they rushed to the flaming towers and never made it out. God Bless all our first responders, on 9/11 and today.

I donīt envy the helpers one bit and they are above courageous for being there at all. Once the city is completely evacuated, it seems like the best solution would be to lay a layer of salt on the city, 1 foot thick.

Re: Fire Fighters Falling Sick and Leaving in Groves
The only treatment for Norwalk is rest and staying hydrated until it clears up, usually in just a few days. People with poor immune systems, such as HIV patients, people on chemo, and the elderly, have a really rough time with it though. E-coli responds to several antibiotics but some strains are much more virulent than others and death and/or severe illness often canīt be avoided.

Walking around in raw sewage mixed in with toxic waste, it would be a surprize if they DIDNT get sick
Just a part of the sacrifice these heros are making every daybeer2

"
There have been two viruses that I have read about coming out of there.
Norwalk Virus & EColi.
"


E. Coli is not a virus. Itīs bacteria, there are several strains some worse than others.

Was chatting with a co-working during a meeting this morning. She was sharing that her son and daughter were fine (theyīre well-to-do). But, are still in NO making arrangements to leave the city for the duration. She said that they reported that the stench is incredible. That they are wearing three of those little masks that cover their nose and mouth, but they are not doing much good. I should asked if they were staying out of the water...

Re: Fire Fighters Falling Sick and Leaving in Groves
CyberSpaceorbit.com , Steadmanīs site has an article in it that says they are going to use this as excuse for dumping man-made flesh eating disease on states like IL, IN, OH and two more.

This rings a bell since I caugth something 3 yrs. ago that acted like that and scared us all. Took months to clear it up. Appeared to come from aerial spraying on hay fields. I do not think this is just BS story. Please stay alert folks to this type (or other) odd ball illness.

Why are they then spreading these people from N.O. around the states mentioned and others?
Would like to believe it was for good purposes but know too well "kindness ainīt US". We are in for a second man made storm - soon, this is how they will break the USA financial back! Perfect way so not to blame any party or persons.
Wissh they would take this back to all the folks who have worked to destroy our beloved USA. They seem to call the dance steps even for the British too. So just who is it? Germany? or our infamous Roman buddies who have brought evil to others for 1,000īs of years? Love the Italian people, just do not trust their more violent groups like the backshooting mafia or the mass murdering Vatican group who have commited the worst crime of all against the worlds children.
Just think of how perverse that crime is, violating little innocent bodies with adult sized organs is chilling, with evil minds they
figured out how to take over the world again with self fear. Time to have a national list of these thugs with photos so we can find them before they strike again because they just ship them off to new "hunting grounds", and that my friends tells me a majority is involved and attending their church is like putting a stamp of approval on child endangering. Think carefully over this and boycott evil.

Just a droplet of that water in your eye, nose, or mouth, and you can have any number of infections. Seems impossible to avoid without a bio-haz suit on.

I watched a local news person who flew down to NO to cover the story. She said that she cant even stand near the water because the fumes where burning her eyeīs.
