Gulf toxicologist: Shrimpers exposed to Corexit "bleeding from the rectum"

CNN, July 9. 2010: Rush Transcript Excerpt Susan Shaw, Marine Toxicologist: If I can tell you what happens -- because i was in the oil -- to people... Shrimpers throwing their nets into water... [then] water from the nets splashed on his skin. ... [He experienced a] headache that lasted 3 weeks... heart palpitations... muscle spasms... bleeding from the rectum... And that's what that Corexit does, it ruptures red blood cells, causes internal bleeding, and liver and kidney damage. ... This stuff is so toxic combined... not the oil or dispersants alone. ... Very, very toxic and goes right through skin.

BP is a terrorist organization the same as Al Qaeda and BP Corporate officers have committed a terrorist act against America by murdering Americans and destroying the Gulf of Mexico (in process). Simply declare BP a terrorist organization and send all company officers to Guantanamo for daily waterboarding until they confess (Bush & Cheney solution) then introduce them to Cuban firing squad. The patriot act would apply and all problems are solved.

She's wrong about the 9500 vs 9527. 9500 is actually more toxic than 9527. It was made to use in cold Alaskan waters & 9527 was meant for warm waters. 9500 is more toxic and less effective than 9527.

Some results of using Corexit as of July 10th 2010 are: htt p://rawstory.co m/rs/2010/0710/toxicologist-sh­rimpers-exposed-oilcorexit-mix­-suffered-bleeding-rectum/

@t4705mb6 cite your source. otherwise you come off as a looney. make sure your source is a source and not where you 'heard it from'. Alex Jones is a leftist Glenn Beck.

@MaryAnn4peace who's gonna throw them into that pot? other politicians who have their hands in the pot? nothing can be done. nothing will be done. pay closer attention to who you vote for and make sure you vote. that's all YOU can do.

[blueman612]

@derman077 yea, it's fuckin delicious! "we got clean shrimp, we got purdy shrimp" 

[derman077]

Wat a minute. Are they selling that shrimp to people ?

[MaryAnn4peace]

If there ever was a case to be made for a class action lawsuit against a multinational corporation, it is here. I dont think that BP has enough assets to cover all the damage, and when politician are protecting the corporation, then throw them into the same pot. It is time that people grow some balls, put their foot down and demand to be protected from those corporate predators.

The oil "spill" is far far deeper than most know. It is actually part of the collapse of the US that has been in the planning stages for decades.

Don't downplay it; the truth will come out that BPORM was corrupted by individuals. In Houma 1300 + Injuries and Illnesses OSHA Regional TX director hides the facts with BP. If anyone reported wrong doing that was not in the government they were fired or arrested like a safetyman the local Terrebonne Sheriff's Deputies in La corruptibly arrested for BP and threatened by BP's Prime Contractor Obrien's Response Management. Firing or withheld pay people who wanted the workplace safe from BPORM

I can't believe what they're doing to us!!!!

@fletchlivves Go back and RE READ the VERY CAREFUL wording that states 'no or low toxicity BASED ON AVAILABLE DATA'. At that time no studies longer than *96 hours* had been conducted on this substance.
