A follow-up to yesterday's story about spiraling fish death circles: Here's a clue to the cause.
Several years ago my MIL passed away in a Florida hospice. When the crew arrived to remove the body, a nurse gathered up all her pharmaceuticals. I asked if I could sign for them and donate them to a community service agency that helps the poor get costly meds. "Absolutely not" was her reply, and then she FLUSHED THEM ALL DOWN THE TOILET. This hospice was on a city sewage system (not septic), so we all know darn well where those drugs ended up.
You would hope that someone at FDEP or FDOH is spreading the word to hospice organizations, hospitals, etc. to not do things like that. My husband used to work for Florida Rural Water Association, and part of that group’s mission is to educate the public about proper disposal of toxic substances, including pharmaceuticals. Flushing down the loo is a big no-no.
My first thought was spike protein shedding from the jab. Some three letter organization (I don’t recall which one) was monitoring C19 infection rates in sewage treatment centers. But think about where all waste eventually goes if you’re near open water.
The shedding of the spike in human waste from those that are jabbed would cause enough damage to impact marine life ( I would think) let alone if all the unused doses were inappropriately dumped as was suggested. Just a theory, but…Ugh!
My ex husband's roommate was getting hospice care at home and when he died, they left all his drugs with my ex! He has vials of morphine and Fentanyl patches!!!
That’s awful that hospice would not know how to properly dispose of it. I take mine to a drop off inside a local walgreens. They take nonprescription drugs as well.
Oh, yes, I wasn't meaning to imply that you were wrong for not having done so! (Sorry!) It was more a reaction of "surely there should be a way to get a person in trouble when they pull such a dumb@$$ move".

The old saying - " What goes around, comes around " takes on new (frightening!) meaning.
...think I will take a pass on this evening's Friday Night Fish Fry, tyvm.
They still do it. My BIL died this past October, and that is exactly what they did with his leftover meds
What in the heck is a BIL?
Brother in law
I dislike these unnecessary acronyms. Especially...ESPECIALLY when not generally known, but ASSUMED to be.
Agree
I guess we can expect to see dopers snorting ocean water.

My mother died a little over a year ago. Same thing happened. I was blown away!
My ex husband's roommate was getting hospice care at home and when he died, they left all his drugs with my ex! He has vials of morphine and Fentanyl patches!!!
Just a couple of days ago I told my husband, when I die take all the drugs we didn't use up and have them put in the casket before they bury me.
Geez! How appalling is that?
wow, that is not what they are suppose to do. At least, not now. But people don't think and don't like to change what they do.

Hospice REFUSED to give me, a family member, possession of those drugs.
I know. That is ridiculous!
What in the heck is a MIL?
Mother in law
I can't help wondering if somebody could have reported her to the city to be fined for disposing of prohibited items in the sewage, or something.
Maybe so ... but when one has just watched a parent pass away, calling the health department is not the first thing that crosses one's mind.
