Question about Red 40 and mystery illness

We all know the Red 40 food dye is considered extremely unhealthy for us, and is even banned in some places outside the US. However, there doesn’t seem to be much reliable research into the long-term effects that frequent Red 40 consumption can have on the human body.

So here’s my question: nearly 100% of the water I’ve consumed over the past three years has been flavored with Mio’s “Fruit Punch” water enhancer (I cannot drink plain water). This stuff is LOADED with Red 40, and I am a pretty well hydrated person. For the past two weeks I’ve suddenly developed migraines, muscle pain, nausea, and frequent bouts of vomiting with no known cause. I’ve been to both the ER and Urgent Care, and all tests done have showed no reason for illness. Is it possible that my daily consumption of Red 40 caused these symptoms?

Why is her nose white?

The largest one of my babies, who is showing no lichen patterns, suddenly has a white “nose”. I swear I didn’t give her ❄️.

Any idea why? She seems active and healthy. She is a giant prickly stick insect (Extatosoma tiaratum).

This is a long outside of a massive hospital. I didn’t see a single amphibian, fish, insect, etc. in the water.

Is this undergoing some kind of algae treatment perhaps? Or is this caused by an algae bloom?

This is a man-made pond in a garden outside of a massive hospital. I didn’t see a single amphibian, fish, insect, etc. in the water.

Is it undergoing some kind of algae treatment perhaps? Or is this caused by an algae bloom?
