http://www.amazon.com/Superbug-Fatal-Menace-Maryn-McKenna/dp/141655727X You might be interested in this book; I found it very informing after my father came down with a MRSA infection from working in a hospital. I wouldn't worry about recombinant DNA from GM crops or livestock creating any type of super bug. Bacteria (competent species) already have the ability to transfer exogenous DNA.Certain viruses can also mutate exponentially and transfer DNA, or RNA. A major concern is the amount of antibiotics given to livestock creating resistant strains. This thread has definitely aroused significant concerns about the water quality in New Jersey. Our government routinely turns a blind eye upon ocean pollution, and I'm glad everyone is starting to discuss this topic.
Thanks Bro, probably about 60% better now. I was out in the morning at Darlington Ave in Deal and then went to Loch Arbour for an afternoon session. If I had to guess, I would say I got it at Loch Arbour (Deal Lake outfall).
It could have just as easily been Deal since there's an outlet at Roosevelt, few blocks north of Darlington.
Funny, I just checked some spots again and in one spot I could smell the water from the street. The winds are now out of the north and coincidentally, the gross water is more abundant up north.
dude, not even f**king with you, the water actually smelled like garbage when the tide was low. ****ing flies buzzing around in the ocean. it was pretty bad
My friend works at a sewage treatment facility and told me when we get storms and lots of rain is when they open the valves more to dump the excess sewage out. Thus leading to dirty foamy water ..take notice next time the foam color . That is why I left New Jersey for OBX. We don't have this senerio . Enjoy paddling through the yellow piss foam...hold your breathe
I'm assuming you were north near me. I'm heading south for several reasons. Enjoy being near nothing, the hicks, and the transplanted tri-staters in NC. Remember, stay away from the CARY area at all costs.
This is def happening to our oceans.... But even with the updates, controlling raw sewage runoff into the Anacostia River during heavy rains may remain an issue until at least 2018, say the District’s water and sewer authority and environmental advocates. The long-standing problem: There isn’t enough space in combined sewage and stormwater pipes to effectively transport untreated runoff to the Blue Plains plant. “When those pipes reach capacity, overflow valves flip over,” says Brent Bolin, director of advocacy for the Anacostia Watershed Society. “Essentially, raw sewage is discharged into the Anacostia River.”
yep. i think my sinus infection is re-aggravated from yesterday, too. my plan is to surf all day saturday in long beach and go to the doctor sunday morning for some antibiotics
I'll probably hit it too, despite the rain. I didn't get sick from yesterday and you could literally smell the water.
Don't miss New Jersey one bit filthy water, rent a cops ,lifeguards kicking you out, crowds out the ass.....how can you stand it baloney? Matt LOVES Cape May!!!!
I was offered a better paying job with covered relocation to Chapel Hill and I turned it down. So you literally could not pay me to live down there. Pigs are happy in sh!t though, so to each their own.
bueller? looks like the wind is slowing in va beach...thinking of going out after popping 20 lbs of anitbiotics. has anybody paddled out today? just curious...
The cams still look a little crazy, but there are about 4 or 5 guys out at first street. Dude, i think it would have to be overhead Macking sheet glass for me to get in after 6" of rain. Good luck with that...
