Freshwater pollution and frequent food poisoning, what is happening in Japan?

author:Maple cold Mushi

Today's Japan is really weird.

Widespread contamination of water resources, concentrated outbreaks of food poisoning, successive waves of dead fish, and far more frequent earthquakes than recorded...... It seems that since the discharge of nuclear wastewater, Japan has been cursed by God, and various problems have begun to erupt on a large scale, and the country's fortunes are in danger.

Freshwater pollution and frequent food poisoning, what is happening in Japan?

If you don't believe me, let's take a look at what's going on in Japan.

Let's start with food poisoning in Japan.

Since the beginning of 2024, in just four months, there will be mass food poisoning incidents in Japan almost every month.

On January 11, Fukushima City, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, reported that a local hotel had a collective food poisoning, and as many as 101 people had symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea.

On January 21, according to Japanese media reports, 30 tourists from Taiwan Province of China, who revere Japanese culture, ate a barbecue in Kyoto, Japan, and then developed symptoms such as nausea and diarrhea and were forced to be sent to the hospital for treatment.

On February 7, Japan's Shimane Prefecture announced that the number of people with collective food poisoning in the local area soared to 176 due to problems with ingredients.

On February 13, 101 teachers and students at an elementary school in Osaka, Japan, showed symptoms of infectious gastroenteritis, which was preliminarily determined to be related to the food they ate.

The most recent was on March 21, when a mass food poisoning outbreak occurred at a restaurant at a golf course in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, and a total of 42 people developed symptoms such as diarrhea and fever.

You see, in just four months, there have been five large-scale food safety incidents in Japan, which may not have happened once in several years before, which is very unusual.

And even more coincidentally, these food safety incidents all occurred after Japan discharged nuclear wastewater.

On August 24, 2023, Japan insisted on discharging nuclear sewage into the Pacific Ocean, despite opposition from many parties.

On September 26 of the same year, a restaurant specializing in seafood bento boxes in Hachinohe City, Japan, reported symptoms of food poisoning to 394 people.

Ten days later, on October 6, a noodle restaurant in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, was also exposed to a large-scale food poisoning incident, with a total of more than 892 victims.

Seeing that the food safety problem is getting more and more fierce, the Japanese government has held an expert meeting to conduct a comprehensive screening of food in Japan while publicizing that Japan's food is safe and absolutely has nothing to do with nuclear contamination.

And do you think it's just the food that goes wrong in Japan? Even the water they usually drink has a big problem.

In November last year, residents in many parts of Japan experienced abnormal blood tests.

The relevant departments of Japan conducted a nationwide investigation and research, and finally announced that there were problems with groundwater in 16 regions, including Tokyo, Kanagawa, Kyoto, and Osaka, and the organic fluoride exceeded the standard by more than 400 times, and there would be unpredictable problems with long-term drinking.

Food, not to be eaten casually,

Drinking water, harmful substances exceed the standard.

But this is not what really frightens the Japanese, what really worries the Japanese is that since the discharge of nuclear wastewater, large-scale fish deaths have appeared one after another, and the frequency has refreshed their cognition.

On October 18, 2023, a large number of sardine carcasses appeared in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan.

On December 7, thousands of tons of sardine carcasses appeared in Hakodate, Hokkaido.

On December 13, there was also a surge of sardine carcasses at the Poche fishing port in Shima City, Mie Prefecture.

Entering 2024, on February 28, Japan began the fourth round of nuclear sewage discharge into the sea.

In late March, a large number of dead fish appeared off the coast of Otaru City, Hokkaido, Japan, and the entire area was covered by a 7-kilometer tide of dead fish, which was never seen in Japan for more than 40 years.

After the incident, without any investigation, the Japanese government's first reaction was to quickly refute the rumor, saying that the dead fish tide incident had absolutely nothing to do with the nuclear sewage, and that the death of those fish was purely due to the lack of oxygen and natural changes in marine ecology.

In the face of Japan's attitude, the world can now be roughly divided into two factions:

One faction is the skepticism represented by the British.

They vigorously exposed this incident when there was a dead fish wave in Japan last year, when the "Daily Mail" said: "Thousands of tons of dead fish wreckage washed up on the shores of Japan, three months after Japan discharged Fukushima nuclear sewage into the sea!"

Such a horrific description caused an uproar abroad.

Foreign netizens have said:

"It's all nuclear fish. ”

"Even seagulls don't eat fish that has been contaminated with radioactivity. ”

"This is terrible! The Japanese government can't release more radioactive water!"

In the face of criticism from the outside world, the Japanese government was furious, and he scolded the British for being unruly, and also lodged a solemn protest to the "Daily Mail" through diplomatic channels, and resolutely demanded that the British revise the manuscript.

But no matter how angry the Japanese are, they can't stop the suspicions from all sides.

As early as 2022, CCTV made a special report that fish off the coast of Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, contained 14 times more radioactive cesium activity.

For safety reasons, we immediately suspended the import of Japanese aquatic products after Japan discharged nuclear sewage in August last year, and not only us, but even the best Japanese elders and Americans also issued a notice to prohibit the import of Japanese nuclear-contaminated food, including fresh milk, milk powder, vegetables, salt, rice, fish, meat, etc.

As for the Koreans who have a feud with the Japanese, it is even more direct, they not only scolded Yoon Suk-yeol for his incompetence, but also expressed their dissatisfaction with practical actions, and now many Koreans have not eaten aquatic products for months, and even many Korean primary and secondary schools have stopped buying seafood.

As a result, sales of seafood in Japan have plummeted, and they have scolded the countries that have issued the ban while urging their people to eat seven more Fukushima seafood per person a day.

Of course, there are also those who do not believe in evil and insist on buying Japanese aquatic products, but they are quickly slapped in the face.

At the end of March, Taiwan Province found that the saury imported from Japan was detected with carcinogens exceeding the standard by 40 times, such an exaggerated value frightened the Taiwanese people in a panic, under pressure, the Taiwan provincial authorities said that they would immediately return this batch of saury to Japan.

Of course, no matter how many bizarre incidents occur in Japan, there are always some people who insist that these incidents are not directly related to the nuclear sewage discharged by Japan, but in the face of many facts, they cannot deny it. Water pollution is indirectly related to nuclear wastewater, because Japan's discharge of nuclear sewage has caused damage to the global marine ecosystem, and when the food chain is affected, it may cause large-scale mortality events.

But no matter how they explain it, one thing is certain: the source of these bizarre events is likely to be inseparable from the nuclear wastewater.

After talking about the above things that may be related to nuclear wastewater, let's look at another strange and abnormal thing in Japan.

That is, the frequency of earthquakes in Japan exceeds historical records.

Earthquakes have been occurring frequently in Japan since the discharge of nuclear wastewater, and although Japan is indeed a country with frequent earthquakes, the probability of this occurrence is too high.

According to the data, since January 1, 2024, a magnitude 7.6 earthquake struck the Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, in just two days, there have been 155 earthquakes in Japan, including two strong earthquakes of magnitude 6 or higher, and most of them are magnitude 3 or higher.

If we expand the time frame to one week, Japan will have felt 1,214 earthquakes in just one week after the start of 2024, which is more than twice the number of the past three years combined.

What's even more amazing is that on August 24, 2023, Japan began to discharge nuclear wastewater.

On August 25, a 4.3-magnitude earthquake struck Iwate Prefecture.

There was also a 5.8 magnitude earthquake in Honshu.

On August 26, earthquakes of magnitude 4.6 and 4.0 occurred in Yamaguchi and Ibaraki prefectures, respectively.

There was also a 4.5 magnitude earthquake in Chiba Prefecture in Japan on August 27.

As for Fukushima, it was not avoided either, and on August 28, a 4.8 magnitude earthquake struck Fukushima.

Six earthquakes in just four days have caused deep fear among local residents, and although there is no evidence, even locals are beginning to wonder if the incident is related to Japan's nuclear sewage discharge, after all, this sequence is too coincidental.

Of course, we don't have to be too suspicious of this kind of metaphysical thing, what really worries me is that Japan discharges nuclear sewage, it has only been 8 months, and so many moths have happened, whether it is water pollution or food safety, or the dead fish tide incident, it shows that the marine ecosystem is likely to have been affected, so what will Japan do if it continues to discharge for 30 years at the current pace?

I watched the Godzilla movie the other day, could this be a harbinger of our future?

However, compared with the distant future, one thing that is more urgent for us now is that, according to the simulation of the Tsinghua University team, the nuclear sewage will reach the coast of Zhejiang in April this year, and will continue to spread to Shanghai, Shandong and Liaoning on the mainland.

But the reason why I insist on sharing this incident is because I don't want future generations to gradually forget this incident, and I must let the world see the true face of the Japanese and nail them to the pillar of shame in history!
