<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I think it’s time to talk about how drugs get from the toilet to the tap, excretion, and not all drugs are created equal. A report from Deloitte commissioned
by the EU states that chemotherapy drugs are a billion times more dangerous than birth control pills and the source chemo drugs in the water is from excretion. This is a problem that can be solved by simply collecting the patient waste for a couple of days.
