    California woman's fatal poisoning from hemorrhoid cream highlights lead risks

    The fatal poisoning of a California resident who had ordered a Vietnamese herbal ointment for hemorrhoids online is a recent example of lead ? a dangerous and toxic metal ? showing up in imported products. The list in recent months has included items ranging from apple sauce, ground cinnamon and bracelets to sippy cups, water bottles and dark chocolate.

    Local officials issued a public health alert after a woman in Sacramento developed severe lead poisoning and died after using a hemorrhoid ointment from Vietnam called Cao Boi Tri Cay Thau Dau. The California Department of Public Health tested a sample of the ointment and found it contained what it described as "a highly dangerous amount of lead," or 4%, according to the county's alert.

    The deceased woman had purchased the ointment on Facebook, and it was mailed to the U.S. by a relative in Vietnam, the agency stated in a news release. It was not immediately clear if people can buy the ointment directly in the U.S. But any consumers with the ointment should stop using it and get their blood tested for lead, California health officials advised.

    The product is marketed primarily through Facebook groups in Vietnamese as a so-called "miracle" treatment for hemorrhoids, according to a post by California's Calaveras County Public Health.

    No way, these 2 lurk around cemetarys stealing shit?





    LA PORTE COUNTY, Ill. — Felony charges have been filed against two people accused of stealing veteran’s grave markers from headstones at six different cemeteries around northwest Indiana.

    La Porte County deputies announced Saturday that 53-year-old Terry Wood and 25-year-old Breanna Puentez have each been charged with one felony count of theft and 15 felony counts of cemetery mischief.

    The charges were handed down following an extensive investigation into the alleged theft of bronze veteran markers from headstones across La Porte County, which started in August after deputies received a report about the thefts.

    Wait. That guy is only fifty-three ?!?!

    And WTF were they doing with them?

    Edited to add their FB pages.... there's scamming going on for sure. She's a backyard breeder. Animal control wouldn't return her lost dog to her, some other woman is accusing Breanna and Terry of ripping off her grandparents and destroying their things, etc. Don't know the full story but drama follows these two.

    You are talking to a woman who has laughed in the face of death, sneered at doom and chuckled at catastrophe.

    Boy, 12, is left permanently blind after consuming a junk food diet of plain hamburgers and doughnuts

    The unnamed child who lived in the US had autism and struggled to eat many foods as he didn't like the texture.

    The kid began experiencing eye problems earlier this year, with his vision "darkening" in the mornings and evenings, only improving briefly during the day.

    His parents took him to get his eyes checked, but no major issues were discovered.

    Within six weeks, he could no longer walk without leaning on his parents for support and frequently stumbled into doors and walls.

    One night, he woke up screaming because he couldn't see.

    The lad was rushed to hospital, where doctors discovered his poor diet had left him dangerously low on nutrients crucial for healthy eyesight.

    Despite supplements and feeding therapy, experts wrote in the New England Medical Journal that the boy's vision loss may be permanent.

    Well, that is just plain sad. The parents should have taken him to a nutritionist if he was only eating junk food due to the texture.
