Purple salt on tap


How about some sodium permanganate to help with your trace element needs?

"The water treatment plant operator Stephen Burchett later informed local news outlets that the water was exposed to "a large quantity of sodium permanganate." Although Burchett insists that the chemical is not harmful, the residents were ordered, "not to drink, bathe, or wash clothes using the water" until it was clear."

Too much and too little ...
"Manganese is one out of three toxic essential trace elements, which means that it is not only necessary for humans to survive, but it is also toxic when too high concentrations are present in a human body. When people do not live up to the recommended daily allowances their health will decrease. But when the uptake is too high health problems will also occur."

"Manganese effects occur mainly in the respiratory tract and in the brains. Symptoms of manganese poisoning are hallucinations, forgetfulness and nerve damage. Manganese can also cause Parkinson, lung embolism and bronchitis. When men are exposed to manganese for a longer period of time they may become impotent.
A syndrome that is caused by manganese has symptoms such as schizophrenia, dullness, weak muscles, headaches and insomnia."
