An investigation is underway in Sattahip, Chonburi after more than 500 syringes and blood collection tubes were found floating in the sea in the Samaesan area.

 

The authorities had been alerted after a post on a popular site called "Mor Lab Panda" on Facebook. Fears were expressed that the items might be infected with diseases.

 

Reporters spoke to the local phoo yai ban Natthapong who said that he had contacted health authorities and speedboat operators to come and collect the mass of medical equipment.

Local authority leader Mr Adul said this was most irregular - the area is known for having a lovely clean seaside, he said.

 

It is thought that the items came from a beauty clinic or regular clinic.

 

An investigation is underway to try and determine how the equipment found its way into the sea.

No need for an investigation,somebody threw it into the sea.

to save money by not disposing of them properly.

Why would a beauty clinic be taking blood?

Possibly they do a bit of brain surgery on the side!

...and by inference, NOT from the large, prestigiously named hospital nearby.

Yeah, the cassava fields around the city are all full.

Wouldn't doubt it one bit. I used to harass the sewage trucks up here in CM as they were dumping anywhere it was not in the open or dark and in many cases very nice habitats.

NEVER!.   Cruises ships have proper sanitary means of disposal. Their well trained medical staffs are ever alert for dangers such as this. I CAN'T HOWEVER say the same for the locals.

I can't believe that any clinic would do this, but who knows.  TIT (This Is Thailand)

A personal thought i've had is that a couple cases are very possible,

1. Some doper broke into a clinic looking for drugs, grabbed a bunch of things and thinking stese syringes would be nice took them too. Then later got worried and dumped them. Let's wait to see if they tie it to any clinic break-ins.

2. Some clinic cleaning crews had cleaned a clinic after hours and one member of the crew wound up with the duty to take these to an authorized disposal place, but found it easier to dispose of them her thinking that 'Nobody would know'.

I'm just thinking out loud.   We will have to wait and maybe know more.

IMHO -- it would NOT have come off a cruise ship.
