Pig Farms and Chicken Farms in the Philippines - They Stink

If you do decide to live in a rural area I suggest you do a Google Earth search of the surrounding area and look for pig farms and chicken farms (poultry farms). For each farm you will see rows of long tin roofed buildings. The pig farms will have several ponds nearby. We signed our lease not knowing much about the area.

Turns out there were about 25 pig farms and chicken farms within about 1 to 3 miles of our apartment.
On many occasions the odor was very strong. We would close the windows and turn on the air conditioner, but that did not totally eliminate the foul odor. It was especially annoying at evening dinner time.

After having been diagnosed by a Pulmonologist as having bacteria in a lung I did some online research to see if the wind carried any dangerous bacteria from the farms. In fact I discovered that the air can carry dangerous bacteria and other contaminants quite a distance from pig farms. My daughter and I both had several unexplained illnesses while living there. Needless to say, we did not renew our lease after learning of the danger of living near the farms. I plan to add a screen shot of the farms that were in our area. See an article about hazards of living near pig farms.

HEALTH WARNING: Here is an excerpt from an article "Another Something Foul In The Air Above Pig Farms",

"...University of North Carolina School of Public Health researcher Steve Wing authored a paper in which he outlined respiratory disease rates in rural neighborhoods within two miles of hog farms. He found the number of people who, over six months, reported 12 or more incidents of upper respiratory problems (runny nose, coughing, headaches, mucous membrane irritation, and sore throat) almost doubled near hog farms when compared to the control group. “It’s really bad,” says Wing. “Thirty to forty thousand head of livestock is like a city of 50,000 people without a waste treatment plant.” In another review, conducted in 2002, University of Iowa found very high rates of illness, especially respiratory illness, in factory hog farm hands. Nearly 70 percent of these farm employees complain of acute bronchitis and 25 percent complain of chronic (lasting two or more years) bronchitis. These diseases are just a small sample of ailments that also include asthma, depression, and fatigue. Wing says a complex mixture of pollutants such as hydrogen sulfide gas, dust, and live airborne viruses and bacteria cause these symptoms."

Update Oct. 2014: Here is an excerpt from an article at Mercola.com, 


"As reported by Frontline, researchers have found that people living close to confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs) also suffer drug-resistant infections at much higher rates than others, again suggesting that antibiotic-resistant bacteria originate from large-scale agriculture."
