I am reporting a serious water contamination issue at 3313 DeWitt Rd, Modesto. There is credible evidence and observation of multiple hazardous substances in the local canal and aqueduct system. The following chemicals and biological agents are of immediate concern: DMT (Dimethyltryptamine), azo compounds, phenoxyethanol, chlorine, legacy industrial pollutants (such as those associated with paper mills), and Toxoplasma gondii.
These substances, alone or in combination, can create new and highly toxic byproducts, many of which are not routinely detected by standard water testing. Their interactions, especially with chlorine and industrial legacy pollutants, increase the risk of persistent, bioaccumulative, and carcinogenic compounds in the water supply.
Exposure to these contaminants can produce a wide range of symptoms and health effects. Many of these symptoms closely mimic those of COVID-19, which can make diagnosis and response more difficult. Reported and potential symptoms include fatigue, fever, muscle aches, headache, shortness of breath, chest pain, swelling, confusion, memory problems, neurological changes, behavioral effects, respiratory irritation, and flu-like illness. There is also risk of heart complications, such as abnormal rhythms and fluid around the heart (pericardial effusion), as well as pregnancy complications, miscarriage, and developmental issues in children. Other risks include acute poisoning, organ toxicity, and increased risk of cancer. Vulnerable groups—including pregnant women, infants, immunocompromised individuals, and those with pre-existing health conditions—are at greatest risk.
Standard water testing protocols do not routinely screen for these substances. Many of them require advanced, targeted laboratory methods to detect and are easily missed or misread if not specifically tested for. This means contamination may go undetected, and public health risks may be underestimated or misattributed, especially when symptoms resemble common viral illnesses like COVID-19.
I strongly urge all physicians and medical examiners to review cases of death involving fluid around the heart (pericardial effusion or cardiac tamponade), including those attributed to COVID-19. Bone marrow examinations should be performed in these cases, as there is concern that rapid or abnormal bone marrow growth, potentially linked to environmental or chemical exposures, is not being detected and may be misdiagnosed as drug overdose (such as fentanyl or barbiturates) or viral complications. Careful investigation, including bone marrow sampling, could reveal patterns of illness or exposure that are currently overlooked.
Given these facts, I am requesting the following actions:
Conduct immediate, targeted testing for DMT, azo compounds, phenoxyethanol, chlorinated byproducts, legacy industrial pollutants, and Toxoplasma gondii in the affected water systems.
Update water safety protocols to include advanced chemical and biological screening for these hazards.
Communicate transparently with the community about the risks, what is being done to address them, and what symptoms to watch for.
Provide support and guidance for residents experiencing unexplained or persistent symptoms, especially those that could be mistaken for COVID-19 or other common illnesses.
Ensure thorough medical review, including bone marrow examination, in all deaths from fluid around the heart, including those attributed to COVID-19 or suspected overdose.
Prompt and comprehensive action is needed to prevent a potential public health crisis. The combination of these overlooked contaminants represents a real and urgent threat to both human health and the environment. Addressing this issue now will help protect the community and prevent the kind of long-term health and environmental consequences seen in other areas affected by similar contamination.
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
A concerned citizen
