Precisely!


If we, (as a group) took a year off from Melaque/Barra, went elsewhere, and let the reasons why be known, that MIGHT stimulate some action..

I realize that NOB tourism accounts for only about 15% of overall tourism in the area, but I've also heard a number of National tourists say that they will no longer come to Melaque/Barra, because "it is filthy."

In the past 9 or10 years, my small circle of NOB friends have suffered one or more of the following:....many repeatedly:

Dengue fever
Scalp infections
Eye infections, (recurrent)
Ear infections (recurrent)
Nasal mucosa infections
Throat infections (recurrent
Lung infections (recurrent)
Pneumonia
Gastritis
Gastroenteritis
Diverticulitis
Vaginitis
Bladder infections (recurrent)
Fungal nail infections
Skin disorders (blistering of soles of feet, and palms of hands)
Strange, undiagnosed flu-like symptoms

All of these, in an otherwise healthy population, with no pre-disposition to these disorders.

Coincidence?...I don't think so.

What do we all have in common?..........the air, and the water.

No mas Melaque/Barra, no mas!

PS: Could someone please translate, and post this in "local" Spanish.....Google Translate is not the greatest.
