We have all been warned now about the possibilities of flooded Hurricane cars ending up at auto auctions, used car lots and in the newspaper ads. Kind of a bummer if you are looking for a car and something that you may not have considered is even it was professionally detailed to look okay much of the murky water from the Flooding of New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina had bio-toxins in it.

What if you buy a car with toxins in the upholstery? What if you work in a recycling center, which takes used cars and recycles all the various parts? This issue is somewhat serious and it recently came up in an online think tank when one member, Swift from Las Vegas stated; “Also, it would probably affect the ability to recycle some of the materials in the vehicles, or if they did remove them to recycling sites, then there would be a transfer of the toxins to another location.”
Yes we need to be thinking here, what if a whole lot of people came down with unwanted viruses or diseases and it spread to auto auctions, dealerships and the final recipient of the flooded car? What if someone was working in an auto-recycling yard and came down with some unknown or fast spreading virus of sorts? It might take a little while to figure out what on Earth was going on, surely eventually the CDC would figure it out, but by that time the virus would in a totally different region of the nation and spreading? Consider this in 2006.
