Our tap water is full of all kinds of leftover pharmaceutical drugs. These drugs include antidepressants like Prozac, pain killers like Advil and Oxycontin, diabetes medications, epilepsy drugs, Viagra, and anything in between. The particles of these drugs are so small that there isn’t a single municipal water filtration system that gets them out. So these drugs are everywhere and their levels are increasing, posing a serious threat to you and our entire ecosystem.
The main way that these drugs get into our drinking water is through the toilet. People flush them. You might think that your toilet is some black hole where things simply disappear. But it’s not. It actually goes to water filtration systems, which have leach lines, which seep contaminants into our ground water. People routinely flush expired drugs in their medicine cabinets. Also, about 25% of the medication you ingest ends up in the toilet. Your body only metabolizes about 75% of them, leaving the rest in your urine.
Meat factories also are responsible for a large amount of antibiotics in our drinking water. They use antibiotics in milking cows to cut down on the amount of pus in the milk those cows produce. The antibiotics also keep the animals healthier so they can remain in production lines longer.
There are many dangers to ingesting drugs that you don’t need. If you ingest antibiotics, your body builds a tolerance to them. So when you do get really sick and need antibiotics, it takes higher dosages to get the same effect. Or the antibiotics don’t work at all, leading to potentially fatal complications.
Also, some people are incredibly allergic to certain drugs. For example, some people have a deadly reaction to Advil. So even a little bit of Advil in their drinking water can make them sick or even kill them. Then there’s the issue of human reproduction. Women who are trying to conceive do not need to be ingesting leftover birth control pills. Men do not need to be ingesting these drugs, either, as they mess with their hormone levels and sex drive.
Also, it’s common sense that people who don’t have epilepsy do not need to be ingesting epilepsy drugs. People who have normal blood sugar do not need to be ingesting diabetic drugs. These drugs can cause complications and reactions that can make a healthy person very sick.
This leftover pharmaceutical drug infested water is also contaminating microorganisms, organisms and the animals that feed on these creatures. The drugs work their way up the food chain in a process called bioaccumulation. That means that virtually every vegetable and every meat that we eat is contaminated with leftover drugs.
The problem has become so big that even the woman in charge of the environmental impact division of Merck has been quoted as the saying that the drugs are present and pose a real risk to people and animals.
