My children live with their father. There is sludge being spread all around them. My children have experienced much sickness since being exposed to the sludge. It started with asthma which my son continues to suffer. Then both children developed severe diarrhea and vomiting.
I have copies of my children's medical records which show they both had Rotavirus a couple of times. I found out from the local health department that there were other cases of Rotavirus. I have a friend -- both of her grandchildren tested positive for Rotavirus last week.
But people in the area are afraid to complain because the sludge spreaders are rich and influential people. I took pictures of them emptying the loads of sludge while the cattle were there grazing in the same location.
I contacted the EPA but nothing was done.
I don't want anyone else getting sick. It is bad stuff and I want it stopped.
