Not saying this salt water intrusion will affect everyone in south Louisiana BUT Dumb bel Edwards has applied for Federal emergency declaration. https://gov.louisiana.gov/index.cfm/newsroom/detail/4269 https://lailluminator.com/2023/09/22/saltwater-intrusion/
Want anyone who might be affected to know ahead so that you can order or build water filtration system. I don't trust Dumb bel and I sure as hell don't trust the Feds. My husband and I ordered both a water filtration system and 3 extra months of food because that is how long this problem is forecast to last at the longest. Grocery stores on the West Bank and other areas are already getting crazy. We live in a different area in south Louisiana but I predict it will get just as nuts.
The cheapest way is using bleach. All you have to do is several drops to a gallon. But of course, it might not taste good so filtration system is best.
The thyroid needs iodine. Chlorine (as well as fluorine and bromine) will take iodine's place making one even more deficient.
Have you used the iodine pills before. It is staining everything and hard to melt. Sits on the bottom.
Only use bleach in a pinch. Suggest water pumps.
What Doctors Fail to Tell you about Iodine and your Thyroid by Robert Thompson is a great read. He recommends Terry Naturally Tri-iodine.
My holistic doctor told us about Iodine also. That's a pill not going to disinfect the water. We use water pumps and uv light powered by battery but water pump better.
Tried iodine pills before but it's hard to get it to melt.
Thank-you for the info. Copied and pasted to my notes!
Thank-you and we have povidone iodine!
