Don't forget the birth control pill. We don't have a great way to remove its residue from the water supply last I read, so that's being constantly mixed in as more and more women try to avoid pregnancy.
I find it odd that it hasn't been mentioned in these comments, since its an obvious contender in the problem space, given that a women's cycle is almost entirely based on their hormones, and the pill affects their hormones.
- rightbyte 2y agoDo you mean indirect exposure to children? The waste amount should be a homeopatic dose compared to ingesting the pill? But maybe there is like a compound effect even in really small doses mixed in with all the other chemicals. Or maybe children conceived after being off the pills for a short while are affected.
- ThunderSizzle 2y agoHow many women have been on the pill and for how long? It's a compounding effect on itself as it's not recycled out of drinking water sufficiently, and level have been increasing, especially considering how little is required to mess with female cycles.
