EDITOR, The Tribune
Conch poisoning now at 17 cases - Tribune today 18th July.
Might I use this medium to get a message to Minister Dr Duane Sands, that the likely cause of food poisoning at Potter’s Cay is likely the “remedial” work being done at the Sewerage Terminal Station between Potter’s Cay and Malcolm Park.
The sewer is likely spilling into the harbour and being carried east to Potter’s Cay on the flooding tide.
The Fort Montagu fish market has a similar problem with the very same sewerage pipe that often overflows ( spills ) at the pumping station.
The fact of the matter is that the Health Ministry should never have sanctioned food sources to be so close to sewerage systems. Perhaps this should be given a second thought now before we have an epidemic.
Fresh water is a good idea but conch can’t live out of water forever and when they put them in the sea to cool down, they will be ingesting the stink.
