Northern KY River Unsafe For Swimming
Some waterways still test unsafe
Conditions remain unsafe for swimming on the Licking River north of the Banklick Creek to the Ohio River and Three Mile creeks. The Kentucky Division of Water and Division of Public Health Protection have finished reviewing the testing results from rivers and streams around the state, and have concluded that swimming advisories in place for several years should continue. Combined sewer overflows and sanitary sewer overflows have contributed to a high fecal coliform pollution. http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.d...507100362/1056 |

Her husband had a scratch on his thumb when he went fishing in the South Fork of the Shenandoah River in Virginia. He was lifting river stones looking for madtoms to use as bait. Within a day, his thumb became severely infected. The infection began to spread quickly and became more systemic as evidenced by fever and loss of appetite. His wife took him to the hospital and he was diagnosed with a staph infection. He was put on antibiotics and his thumb was surgically opened to the bone to allow the infection to drain. He remained hospitalized for several days. -- Now when the lamb opened the fourth seal, I saw the fourth Horse. The Horseman was the Pest - from "The Four Horsemen" by Aphrodite's Child |
