Outbreak of Deadly Disease Hits Michigan City Rocked by Poison Water Supply

Contaminated water in Flint, Michigan, has caused a massive uptick in toxic lead poisoning among the cityโ€™s children, and may also be to blame for the 87 cases of Legionnaireโ€™s disease, 10 of which have been fatal.

Governor Rick Snyder told journalists onย Thursday that the string ofย cases occurred fromย June 2014 toย November 2015, while Flint was using the lead-poisoned water.

Legionnaireโ€™s disease ย is a severe form ofย pneumonia that causes fevers, headaches, trouble breathing, and aching muscles. It is caused byย a bacteria found naturally inย water. The governor stopped short ofย saying that the cases were caused byย the contaminated water supply forย certain, butย many suggest itโ€™s the logical place toย begin investigating.

The city is currently inย a state ofย emergency, which was not declared untilย this month, despiteย officials knowing aboutย the contamination asย early asย April 2015. The governor and other agencies are now underย fire forย not warning the public or making efforts sooner toย stop the contamination.

The problem withย Flintโ€™s water began inย April 2014, when the city stopped receiving its water fromย Detroit, instead shifting toย water fromย the Flint River, which is known toย have a high salt content. Corrosive salts inย the water damaged the cityโ€™s pipes, which contain lead, causing that material toย be released intoย the water.

In October, the state changed the cityโ€™s drinking water source back fromย the corrosive Flint River toย the Detroit water system, butย damage had already been done.

The effects ofย lead poisoning cannot be reversed. Researchers atย the nearby Hurley Childrenโ€™s Hospital have also identified a "rise inย blood lead levels ofย children less thanย 5 years old" who live inย the area.

Despite the change inย the water supply, officials warn that the water inย Flint remains unsafe safe toย drink.

There are currently petitions circulating forย the resignation, and even the arrest, ofย Snyder forย his inaction inย keeping the residents ofย Flint safe.
