SLUDGE VICTIMS

May 2001 update - compiled by Helane Shields - prepared for WWW by ESRA

(Excerpts from email received on May 5, 2000 to Helane Shields from Doyne Shrader)

The following article from David Swanson pretty well explains everything.
To date my doctors say there is no link between water and my health. But something is really wrong with me. Symptoms are- diffficulty breathing, coughing up large chunks of mucus, sometimes clear, sometimes streaked with blood. Very weak, no energy at all. Stomach cramps. Headaches and skin rashes.
In December and_January of 99 I was so sick I could not get out of bed . After reviewing your letter dated August 17 1999, I also experienced the burning in the mouth and throat. Although that has seemed to lessen. I took a shower in February before and after throat surgery to remove a cyst. Valecular Mass excision consistent with intraoral lymphoepithelial Cyst. I am trying to get the pathologist to test for the reason for the cyst but they don't know what to test for.

Please email me if there are any other questions. Thank you for your concern.

As discussed in the March 16 Culpeper News, the tenants in four houses owned by Wayne Lenn and his brothers in Culpeper County have been without water at least since December.

The Lenns have now returned from wintering in Florida and plan to have Leazer Drilling Co Inc. drill a new well on the property in Stevensburg. As soon as they do so, Wayne Lenn said, they will pour-cement down the old well also down an even older one on the site has not been used for years. One of the tenants, Doyne Shrader, has had some tests done on the contaminated water, but he has not yet had one done to identify whether the fecal coliform in it is human or from cattle or other animals.

Shrader and his neighbors began noticing problems with their water late last year after biosolids were applied to land adjacent to where they live. Lenn now says sludge use is (the) "about the only logical' explanation for the contamination.

Joiner Micro Labs in Warrenton can reportedly perform a test that determines the source of fecal coliform, but the accuracy of the testing is uncertain. A professor at JMU is reportedly able to do DNA testing to make this determination more reliably. Shrader is considering having both such tests performed.
