It tells me that the disease is really nasty and people don’t believe it is real. The disease (somebody help me with the name) exists in warm salt water and you can catch it directly from the water if you have a cut in your skin but I think it is rare.
Oysters were on the menu at the restaurant last night, I would not have been arrested if I had ordered them. They freeze well and when harvested at the right time of year can be cooked and eaten all year.
The disease must end at the Alabama state line because they are alloyed to oyster all year long.
BTW, that goes for Louisiana too. They oyster year round.
