Seriously, estrogen is more of a threat to men since it’s in all the non-scripted hair and beauty products that women slather on like spackle. THAT”S the biggest danger.
This brings up a question I have had for some time. The “experts” say that we should not be dumping our expired medication down the toilet like my parents always did when I was a kid, because it is polluting the water supply. However, they have never said what we SHOULD be doing with them. We can’t take them, they are expired. As a result of this dilema I have about a dozen bottles of expired medication in my cubbard that I have no idea what to do with. I don’t want to throw them in the trash as they could either be eaten by animals or end up in the ground water as a result of being in the landfill. What should be done with them. Does anyone have a suggestion. It isn’t like the local pharmacy has a “used pill” drop off point like they do for motor oil.
Neo, today’s landfills have so much lining around them (top and bottom) that your few pills won’t be soaking into the water table.
They just had a big ad campaign here locally where they asked people to put them in with coffee grounds or kitty litter (to keep kids from picking them out) and put them in the trash.
I thought drugs lost their potency over time.Is the concentrations that high to be of any consequence?
After all we take them with a couple swallows of water.Versus thousands of gallons of water in the sewers.

If he beats it on the water, maybe it will go down?

They tell everyone not to flush them anymore, so I’d say they’ve made a start on the problem.

There’s only one thing that could cause an erect tail for four hours. Call a doctor.
