Prozac is finding its way into waterways and turning fish into ZOMBIES by erasing their personalities, study reveals

Say, that’s a good lookin’ perch there! But no personality whatsoever.

Well, he’s been feeling kinda down lately.............

Does all this extra estrogen from the pill and the water supply explain why so many women have become raving -itches?

You should know that the brains are the tastiest!

Good. Now maybe they can do humans.

These crap ass drugs are making folks everywhere stoopid.
Oh no wait, that would be public edumacation.

Not my water. It comes from 600 ft under the ground.

I think the moral of the story is to drink pee and be happy.

Women’s birth control chemicals are ending up the same places.

And it think the average women is on them for 35 years.

Not to go tin foil hat over, but for one, with most female likely being on the Pill for about 30 or more years of their lives, then the levels of estrogen in the water alone should be a concern. Costs of the sexual revolution.

Pharmaceuticals are emitted from our bodies, homes, and factories, entering waterways and accumulating in fish, bugs, mollusks, crustaceans, birds, and warm-blooded animals. Areas around drug-manufacturing plants are hot spots for this kind of pollution. So too are watercourses near hospitals and aging sewage infrastructure. But medicinal compounds have also been detected in remote environments, imbuing surface waters even in Antarctica.

Waterways can contain traces of many drugs—among them antifungals, antimicrobials, and antibacterials, as well as ones for pain, fertility, mood, sleeplessness, and neurodegenerative diseases. If current trends persist, scientists estimate, the volume of pharmaceuticals diffusing into fresh water could increase by two-thirds by 2050. Recent modeling shows that a platypus living in a contaminated stream in Melbourne is already likely to ingest more than half a recommended adult dose of antidepressants every day.

One of the ways drugs get into our water supply is that people are flushing their unused prescriptions down the toilet. While water from sewage is filtered and chlorinated, the drugs remain in the water. The particulate is too fine to be caught in any city sewer filtration system. But, if you test the water, there they are. Anything from epilepsy drugs, to antibiotics, to diabetes drugs, to antidepressants are found in our water supply.

The less obvious way that pharmaceuticals enter the water supply is that patients who take drugs cannot metabolize the whole pill. So about 25% of that drug is flushed down the toilet

A study done in a Colorado river found that estrogen-containing drugs in the water are turning male fish into female fish. The Associated Press’ National Investigative Team ran their own tests and found pharmaceuticals in the drinking water of 41 million Americans. Philadelphia alone tested positive for 56 different drugs in their water supply. https://www.focusforhealth.org/drinking-prescription-drugs-tap-water/

A nationwide study conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1999 and 2000 found low levels of pharmaceuticals—including antibiotics, hormones, contraceptives and steroids—in 80 percent of the rivers and streams sampled. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/pharmaceuticals-in-the-water/

Many of the more than 4,000 prescription medications used for human and animal health ultimately find their way into the environment. They can pollute directly from pharmaceutical manufacturing plants or from humans and animals. As these chemicals make their way into terrestrial and aquatic environments, they can affect the health and behavior of wildlife, including insects, fish, birds, and more. https://www.usgs.gov/special-topic/water-science-school/science/pharmaceuticals-water?qt-science_center_objects=0#qt-science_center_objects

Better change the first word to Patriot, otherwise you think they are Pariot
