I believe it may have been a man-o-war. She was almost hospitalized over it. Hard reaction and bad swelling in her ankle. ----- I got into some broken tentacles in the surf at Cocoa Beach pier once. Incapacitating agony for a short time (IIRC 20+/- minutes). I'd bet getting wrapped up in one of these while trying to swim could cause a person to drown, it was that bad. |

There's still a few young folks drinking some beer, but not nearly as bad as it once was. We used to go there in the 70's very early in the morning to water ski. It was like glass. When the sun came up and the wind kicked in a little we would leave about 9:00 AM. The biggest problem we had was from the end of June thru August when there was a lot of boats anchored by the shore. We had been skiing since late March each Sat and Sun and these late comers would get mad when we showed up at 7:00 AM to take advantage of the glassy water surface. The best fun was to see who could slalom ski back to Neabsco Creek from Belmont Bay without falling. There was a ski jump there in the mid-80's, but it's been long removed. It's still a great place for tubing, but before about 10:00. We got there about 10:30, and there were only about 10 boats there at the time. Of course, the temp was only in the 70's, and it rained a little later on. So, the weather may have kept some folks home. I'm meeting the other daughter and kids down at Lake Anna around noon. Should be fun. I'd like to have gotten there earlier, but a damn dentist appointment messed up the timing. Oh well. -- John H |

'Toxic stew' of chemicals causing male fish to carry eggs in testes Intersex fish, found across the US, result from a mix of drugs that mimic natural hormones, say scientists * Suzanne Goldenberg, US environment correspondent * guardian.co.uk, Wednesday 21 April 2010 11.05 BST More than 80% of the male bass fish in Washington's major river are now exhibiting female traits such as egg production because of a "toxic stew" of pollutants, scientists and campaigners reported yesterday. Intersex fish probably result from drugs, such as the contraceptive pill, and other chemicals being flushed into the water and have been found right across the US. The Potomac Conservancy, which focuses on Washington DC's river, called for new research to determine what was causing male smallmouth bass to carry immature eggs in their testes. "We have not been able to identify one particular chemical or one particular source," said Vicki Blazer, a fish biologist with the US geological survey. "We are still trying to get a handle on what chemicals are important." But she said early evidence pointed to a mix of chemicals – commonly used at home as well as those used in large-scale farming operations – causing the deformities. The suspect chemicals mimic natural hormones and disrupt the endocrine system, with young fish being particularly susceptible. The chemicals could include birth control pills and other drugs, toiletries especially those with fragrances, products such as tissues treated with antibacterial agents, or goods treated with flame retardants that find their way into waste water. However, Blazer also pointed to runoff from fertilisers and pesticides from agricultural areas. About 5 million people live in the greater Washington area, and 90% of them get their drinking water from the Potomac. "We need to get these toxins out of our river water," said Hedrick Belin, the president of the Potomac Conservancy. The campaign group called for $3m (£1.9m) in research over three years on endocrine disrupters on their effects on fish. It also called on the authorities to involve pharmaceutical companies in the safe disposal of drugs, and to invest in technology that can filter out endocrine disrupting compounds. - - - Well, that explains why herring is such a girlie girl...he swims in a river of ****, and takes his grandchildren to swim there, too. Health problems in their future? Your jealousy and narcissism go into overload when you see what normal people have accomplished. |

'Toxic stew' of chemicals causing male fish to carry eggs in testes Intersex fish, found across the US, result from a mix of drugs that mimic natural hormones, say scientists * Suzanne Goldenberg, US environment correspondent * guardian.co.uk, Wednesday 21 April 2010 11.05 BST More than 80% of the male bass fish in Washington's major river are now exhibiting female traits such as egg production because of a "toxic stew" of pollutants, scientists and campaigners reported yesterday. Intersex fish probably result from drugs, such as the contraceptive pill, and other chemicals being flushed into the water and have been found right across the US. The Potomac Conservancy, which focuses on Washington DC's river, called for new research to determine what was causing male smallmouth bass to carry immature eggs in their testes. "We have not been able to identify one particular chemical or one particular source," said Vicki Blazer, a fish biologist with the US geological survey. "We are still trying to get a handle on what chemicals are important." But she said early evidence pointed to a mix of chemicals – commonly used at home as well as those used in large-scale farming operations – causing the deformities. The suspect chemicals mimic natural hormones and disrupt the endocrine system, with young fish being particularly susceptible. The chemicals could include birth control pills and other drugs, toiletries especially those with fragrances, products such as tissues treated with antibacterial agents, or goods treated with flame retardants that find their way into waste water. However, Blazer also pointed to runoff from fertilisers and pesticides from agricultural areas.. About 5 million people live in the greater Washington area, and 90% of them get their drinking water from the Potomac. "We need to get these toxins out of our river water," said Hedrick Belin, the president of the Potomac Conservancy. The campaign group called for $3m (£1.9m) in research over three years on endocrine disrupters on their effects on fish. It also called on the authorities to involve pharmaceutical companies in the safe disposal of drugs, and to invest in technology that can filter out endocrine disrupting compounds. - - - Well, that explains why herring is such a girlie girl...he swims in a river of ****, and takes his grandchildren to swim there, too. Health problems in their future?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Awww. fer pitys sake, Harry. Whats the problem with a guy taking his family out for a day of boating? They're having fun. I can tell that Herring enjoys his family and looking at his boat it cost him quite a bit of change so that they could have a blast on the water. I know what a thrill it is to take my family out for a day, especially for the daughter and nephews to go tubing and skiing, and I enjoy reading and seeing others having fun on such an outing. I wish I could have joined them. After all this is a boating group that's origional intentions were to talk about boating and boat related activities. So, give the guy a break, will ya? Well said, Tim, but it will fall on deaf ears.... |
