"Hint, if it is dangerous to animals - it is dangerous to humans and if it is dangerous to humans and animals, they have killed life in the Gulf. Unless humans are stupid enough to swim in a toxic brew that “only kills animals.”"

The oil-Corexit mix it toxic to FISH, not "animals". The reason it is toxic is that FISH extract oxygen directly from the water, and the surfactants in the Corexit damage their gills. Anything that breaths AIR directly will not be affected. And no, it is NOT possible to aerosolize enough of the Corexit-oil dilute "plumes" to cause problems to humans or animals. Even a hurricane won't. The original concentrations in the Gulf are simply too low.

You don’t know what you are talking about. Are whales and dolphins fishies or mammals?
