Residents of the flooded areas of Mykolaiv, Kherson and Zaporizhia regions, suffering from a disaster at the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station, were forbidden to catch, sell and eat fish. There is a risk of botulism.
This was announced by the head of the Snigirevskaya MBA Ivan Kukhta.
In the Nikolaev region, a regional commission was held on issues of technogenic and environmental safety and emergency situations due to the consequences of the explosion of the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station.
According to Kukhta, there is a sea of fish in the Snegirevskaya community. Therefore, on the territory of the Snegirevskaya and Gorokhovskaya communities, it was forbidden to catch and sell fish. Residents are advised to refrain from eating fish.
“Don’t be in danger. After all, some unconscious residents have already begun to sell dead fish.- said the head of the MBA.
In addition, the Ministry of Health noted that in the next 3-5 days in the flooded areas in southern Ukraine, due to the rapid drop in water levels, a sea of fish will be observed. Collecting and consuming such fish is strictly prohibited.
“There is a risk of botulism. Stocks of antibiotics and sorbents are formed in the regions for the treatment of acute intestinal infections,” - the message says.
Experts note that among the symptoms of botulism are abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, fever.
In addition, the Ministry of Health advises not to drink or use water from rivers and wells. Water must be boiled even for washing fruits and vegetables. Residents of affected areas are also advised to:
- do not consume flooded foods (even conservation);
- drink only bottled water;
- thermally process all products: boil, fry or bake;
wash hands thoroughly with soap;
- do not wear clothes that have been contaminated during flooding.
In the Dnipropetrovsk region, a massive fish kill has also begun, which environmentalists warned about.
As reported, the military believes that the invaders blew up the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station in order to disrupt the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and prevent our military from entering Crimea in the near future.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russian monsters had committed the crime of ecocide, the worst in recent years.
