This actually presents an ongoing danger aswell. After researching the chemical properties of melamine Its semi water soluble. Meaning the actual soil around the farms effected are now tainted. This could turn out to be a HUGE story after it has time to develop. In the 2 weeks since my cat almost died the tainting has moved to the human food chain.

Melamine is an organic base with the chemical formula C3H6N6, with the IUPAC name 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine. It is only slightly soluble in water.

Melamine is a trimer of cyanamide. Like cyanamide, it is 66% nitrogen and provides fire retardant properties to resin formulas by releasing nitrogen when burned or charred. Dicyandiamide (or cyanoguanidine), the dimer of cyanamide, is also used as a fire retardant
