Governor John Kasich has issued a state of emergency for Lucas County and surrounding communities due to algae toxins detected in the water during routine testing.
Do not drink the water. Alternative water should be used for drinking, making infant formula, making ice, brushing teeth and preparing food. Pets should not drink the water.
Do not boil the water.. Boiling the water will not destroy the toxins. It will increase the concentration of the toxins.
Consuming water containing algal toxins may result in abnormal liver function, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, numbness or dizziness. Seek medical attention if you feel you have been exposed to algal toxins and are having adverse health effects. Skin contact with contaminated water can cause irritation or rashes. Contact a veterinarian immediately if pets or livestock show signs of illness.

A good case for going organic. It was good enough for our Founders.
I would do that if: I was fortunate enough to find a job then I would grow as much as I could.
We may be in the last days
Stuff popping up all over.
I noticed that for Ohio, the governor declared a state of emergency, and there’s a DO NOT DRINK order out - not just a boil-water advisory, but a DO NOT DRINK warning.
Who here has water plans in place that could handle such a situation?
The Bride and I are reviewing ours - which we now see is sadly lacking...
I think not...
Our “water plan” is our water well.
