South metro Atlanta poisoned by toxic chemical

South metro Atlanta stinks. The birds and wild animals have fled, and pets are getting sick and refusing to go outside.

That's the story told by The Citizen of Fayette County, Georgia.

Though Phillips Service Corp. and the Georgia Environmental Protection Division deny it, over 600 residents claim that since Memorial Day a sickening, onion-like small has surrounded the Phillips factory. Residents and those traveling through north Fayette and south Fulton still report the smell, which is believed by many to be the chemical odorant and restricted use pesticide MOCAP. The stink is apparent in a 40 square mile zone around the plant.

MOCAP is extremely toxic to birds and aquatic life, and is a strong dermal irritant. Lifestock and humans should not come into physical contact with the substance.

Pets and humans are experiencing vomiting, diarrhea, skin irritation and problems breathing. Many small pets have died. Reports of usually healthy commercial beehives say entire colonies of bees have died or fled.

This story is getting little local and no national exposure. Why not?

  3. Pretty much 110% of the time, I'm against vaccinations. If you scroll through the old issues of this blog (before it was a blog -- see the first link under health links in the sidebar), you'll find dozens of links to vaccination news articles by others, plus a few stories I've done on vaccinations.

    Several years ago I wrote an in-depth paper on vaccines as part of my educational program.
