“Our heads are still swimming,” stated Barbara Schebler of Homosassa, Florida, who received word last Friday that test results on the water from her family’s swimming pool showed 50.3 ppm of 2-butoxyethanol, a marker for the dispersant Corexit 9527A used to break up and sink BP’s oil in the Gulf of Mexico.

Massive Fish Kill

Unbelievable!  We have been waiting for this an now it’s here.  …Sad

What you see above isn’t a rural gravel road. It’s a Louisiana waterway, its surface completely covered with dead sea life — a mishmash of species of fish, crabs, stingray and eel. New Orleans CBS affiliate WWL-TV reports that even a whale was found dead in the area.

Oil 2 inches think found on sea floor

Oil at least two inches thick was found Sunday night and Monday morning about a mile beneath the surface. Under it was a layer of dead shrimp and other small animals, said University of Georgia researcher Samantha Joye, speaking from the helm of a research vessel in the Gulf.

The latest findings show that while the federal government initially proclaimed much of the spilled oil gone, now it’s not so clear.

Since suffering a debilitating bought of what locals are calling the “BP Crud,” however, like thousands of other people along the coast due to their exposure to the oil and chemical dispersants, she is now part of a growing community of activists along the coast.

Gulf residents are getting sick: blood tests confirm ethylbenzene, xylene, and high levels of hexane

I had a question posted to our comment section for our video on “Corexit Danger”.  I’ll repost it here.

“I’m having difficulty understanding why something would be more dangerous at lower concentrations … please explain!”
Good question!  Here’s our thoughts.
This can be a tough idea to wrap our heads around at times. “How can less ppm be more toxic?”

Attached below are a few sites that may give some explanation.

The last one is the EPA’s own MSDS! On it they openly state that corexit is MORE toxic with less concentration. As to why? None have put in the detailed study or released their findings as to why. My own thoughts are akin to a histamine reaction when there are lots of corexit molecules present and that when there are less of them the body does not ‘recognize’ them as a threat and permits the passage of the oil membrane destroying compound into cell structures.
