Stop Hog Raising IN BACKYARDS ( HOG MANURE IS VERY DANGEROUS )

We are calling the Department of Health to stop the Hog raising in the backyards of community in Barangay Tuyan.

Hog manure is very dangerous to health and you may get 40 kinds of diseases.

Two new studies published Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine focus on a bacteria called methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus , or MRSA, which caused more than 80,000 invasive infections in the USA in 2011. These infections, which invade the body deeper than the skin, can be deadly for patients in hospitals or nursing homes who have weakened immune systems. The first new study, led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, suggests that hospital efforts to reduce infections are paying off; the number of hospital-based invasive MRSA infections fell by more than half from 2005 to 2011.

In 2011, for the first time since officials began tracking invasive MRSA infections, more Americans were infected with MRSA in the community than in the hospital, one of the studies shows.

In the second study, researchers found that exposure to hog manure is related to 11% of MRSA infections, even among people who don't work on farms.
Nationwide data shows that most deaths occur during the summer months, a time when many producers are emptying pits. Regardless of the season, it is always best to presume that the pit contains hazardous gases or lacks oxygen. Producers need to take protective measures to protect themselves and others working in or around the pit.

The four main gases produced from decomposing manure are hydrogen sulfide, methane, ammonia, and carbon dioxide. In high concentrations, each of these gases may pose a health threat to humans and livestock (see Table 1). In swine housing facilities, where the manure pit is often located below the facility floor, these gases are generally detectable in low concentrations throughout the year. When pits are agitated for pumping, some or all of these gases are rapidly released from the manure a d may reach toxic levels or displace oxygen, increasing the risk to humans and livestock.
