Guest guest Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 I just wonder, hmm, probably OT for this group, but is everyone aware that in New Orleans, under the waters that is now in the gulf, there were three biomedical research labs? Is this a known fact to the general public? Some of the things that were being studied are scary. I would definitely play it safe, and will, since I live here, no one in my family will be eating from there for a long long time. Imagine the household cleaners alone that were under kitchen sinks in New Orleans! Imagine the bug killers and the businesses that spray for termites and such--they, too, went under water. There are home that were so wet that cabinets were washed out of homes. Drat--toxic soup for sure.
