This might explain the misery that we endure. The following is a short list of some of the plagues from the bible and most still apply!!
The first plague turned the waters to blood, the fish died and the river stank. The show's contention is that this constituted a local outbreak of pfiesteria. This is the organism that killed many fish off the coast of North Carolina recently. The phenomena produces sores on the fish that leak blood and this, with the red pigment that occurs with some strains of the organism, would account for the first plague.
Pfiesteria.... This is the organism that killed many fish off the coast of North Carolina recently and sound like the red pigment in the lake where Morristown, Tn gets their drinking water.
Man made plague...Pigeon River, Cocke County, Tn....black water, stunk to high heaven, killed most fish.
Because of the first plague frogs died and with all the frogs dead, the insect population would explode (second plague).
The third plague was of lice. Seeing the classification of insects didn't come about until 1,000 years later, this could have meant a lot of different insects.
Plague four; the swarm of flies. Flies that bite and lay up to 500 eggs at a time.
Plague five, the murrain (infectious diseases of cattle) on animals, an epidemic of sickness among livestock.
Plague six - boils, blains or ulcers.
Plague seven --the hail, a food plant killer.
Plague eight - locusts, would finish off whatever the hail had not totally destroyed.
Plague nine - increases rotting instored crops, this rotting would have produced mold which in certain conditions can produce mycotoxins. Apparently this mycotoxin grows best on cellulose--grains and cereals--and can kill within hours. Stachybotrys atra, a mycotoxin released by black mold in damp areas has been implicated in the deaths of many children recently in Cleveland. Many homes of the infected children showed evidence of this mold in the basement caused by water damage.
Tenth plague--the death of the firstborn. This one can be changed to the present day by saying the death of the unborn (abortion).
