As a previous resident of the Acreage for 10 years it terrifies me. We moved out of there about 1 1/2 years ago, but I still am concerned. I have 2 kids, and we lived right where the cases have been found. I'm talking to my pediatrician today. I'm not a hyperchondriac, but when it comes to my kids, I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Those homes are on wells aren't they? That would be my first concern. I would never drink well water without maybe distilling it first. |

The problem as with any investigation, we have too much CYOA right from the start. |

We had well water for years when I was a kid. We NEVER drank the water, even filtered. You can never get that sulfur taste out |

Im on a 50' deep well here in the Panhandle in the woods on very sandy soil...and enjoy the taste of the water. I dont filter it. It looks pretty clear in the glass. I never get the runs from it, either. I thought id put a filter on the incoming line just to be safe though. |
