  1. I was reading about this on March 8, 2016 Drugs in the Drinking Water? Don’t Ask and Officials Won’t Tell

    When it comes to pharmaceuticals in the water supply, both drug industry and water treatment professionals say traces are so small they probably pose no public health risk. Yet they also admit that testing has begun so recently that no one really knows the long-term effects.

    I can remember back to my first Ritalin kid encounter. It was at this rec facility that had dealt with every kid issue known since 1959. So we got our first Ritalin kids, two brothers. They were already at risk and from a low income family. Mom decided that a week off the meds would be good for them. For the most part, it was going ok. But by day 3 of a 5-day camp, things went awful. The younger brother mouthed off to an instructor. The staffer pretty much ignored him and then the young kid kicked him and went into a terrible tantrum. The older brother sees what’s happening and decides to come to rescue of the brother and goes up to the staffer and starts punching him. The staffer is recent US Ranger just off the line and he restrains the older brother. We then take both of them to the medic. The younger brother is in some kind of rage filled demonic trance. He’s dark red all over, convulsing, and yelling every profanity he can get out. Thankfully, the medic for that week was a medical doctor. He goes to his bag and gets some Ritalin samples. He gives each kid one and they both pass out. We call the mother and tell her they cannot stay. She picks them up and we had to send the staffer to the ER to get a bruised rib checked. After that, we changed our registration documents to inform parents that all kids on Ritalin had to be pre-approved by our camp director and under no circumstances would they be allowed to attend without their meds.
