Flint Is Still Shaken by its Water Crisis

. Ferguson, who worked in Flint during the crisis and whose children were exposed to lead, says that she felt for parents who didn’t have the same resources as her family. “I was more upset and more hurt for parents who didn’t have access to resources to ensure the futures of their children,” she says, adding that she understands why mistrust of officials is still common in Flint.

Also complicating the situation: the water crisis dragged on for a long period of time. Although the water supply was switched back to its original source in October 2015, lead levels didn’t drop below the federal limit until January 2017. That’s left Flint residents with a lasting sense of uncertainty about their health and safety.

You mean how lead and bacteria directly and physically affect the mind? Yes there is that aspect as well as just trauma.

You'd think they'd have fixed Flint's water problem by now. :(

Looks more like a water mushroom really.
