That stuff on the end of his Q-tip isn’t his brains.
“Have you heard any reports of people in the coastal areas complaining of health ailments (sinus/eye irritation, breathing problems, inflammation from toxic vapors)?
Some blogs have claimed that. (just curious for the perspective of someone closer to the scene)”
My Freep response:
Oh hell yes.
Everything you mentioned is discussed on local radio. One report noted that at least 3 toxic airborn chemicals were several thousand times above safe levels along the coast.
IMO everyone on the coast will have long term health effects and/or die younger than they would have.
A friend in my area (2+ hour drive North of the Mississippi delta - Gulf outlet) swears he can smell a faint petroleum odor some mornings. I mentioned it to a relative and they can sometimes as well. So I suspect people on the Gulf coast where the oil is heavy are doomed healthwise.
I’m convinced if it were Dubya in office most of the oil would have been skimmed and very little would have made it to shore.
There are many safe organic treatments that could absorb the oil and convert it into a non toxic byproduct.
One company has that type product. http://www.supremesorb.com/
It is USDA and Coast Guard approved for oil clean up and has been used in several spills for many years. They are based less than 20 min from the Gulf and MORE THAN A MONTH AGO the CEO said he has more than what is needed. Last I checked he got no response from the Feds or BP.
It’s TREASON IMO.
