Two more fishermen exposed: “I started to vomit brown, and my pee was brown… non-stop diarrhea unlike anything I’ve ever experienced”

...............

Statements by one of the fishermen, Donny Mastler:


“We both saw the clumps of white bubbles on the surface that we know come from the dispersed oil.”

“I started to vomit brown, and my pee was brown also… I kept that up all day. Then I had a night of sweating and non-stop diarrhea unlike anything I’ve ever experienced.”

August 8: “He said that his urine was still ‘brown’.”

August 11: “I’m still feeling terrible. I’m about to go to the doctor again right now. I might end up in the hospital. I’m short of breath, the diarrhea has been real bad, I still have discolouration in my urine, and the day before yesterday I was coughing up white foam with brown spots in it.”

“I’ve got a lot of burning in my mouth right now.”

“Another time I was at the marina and got exposed again.”

1. Sounds like their kidneys are shutting down.

[AlabamaLibrul]

2. "Not along ago, at the same marina, WKRG News 5 took a water sample to test for dispersants.

The sample literally exploded when it was mixed with an organic solvent separating the oil from the water."

And WHY didn't I hear about this from the News 5 folks (who I think suck anyway)?

One can only wonder.

[dipsydoodle]

13. Sound like

it seperated out the methane which to some extent disolves into seawater as opposed to clean water in which it doesn't.

[Odin2005]

3. But, I though everything was fine and 75% of the oil disappeared?

:sarcasm:

[nightrain]

24. yes, it disappeared downward, only to be ingested and brought back up again...

nasty...

I won't be eating any seafood for a very long time....red blood cell damage, liver and kidney failure just aren't worth the risk...

[ChairmanAgnostic]

33. disapperated, awaiting voldemort's wand.

as an ignition source.

[CoffeeCat]

4. Would brown urine or vomit...

...mean dried blood?

I really don't understand how BP thinks that they can win this, in the long run.

They used their poison CoreNOexit, and even defied a direct, government order from the EPA to stop. They didn't.
All they cared about was making the oil disappear like magic, so they could move on.

How myopic can these people be? The world will hear from and see these salt-of-the-earth fishermen suffering
from ailments that will be directly tied to CoreNOexit. If they all come down with the same symptoms, BP
will have nowhere to go. They will have just worsened their PR nightmare and their liability.

And I saw that same exploding glass video that a previous poster mentioned. It was reported that the
water literally exploded in the beaker and could not be tested. Unfortunately, there was no video of
the beaker exploding. The reporter said they would return to that site, where the sample was gathered, to
figure out why the explosion happened. No further reporter was done. No follow up that I saw.

BP thought they were so damn smart, using CoreNoexit to make their problems disappear.

They were so wrong. If they think killing clean-up workers and men and women who fish and make their
living in the Gulf, is ok--they're in for a rude awakening.

[madrchsod]

5. i think there was a House episode that had those symptoms

[earth mom]

6. And the cover up continues. I wonder how long those fishermen will live after such exposure?

:-(

from the report:

"BP has been using two oil dispersants, Corexit 9500 and Corexit 9527, both of which are banned in Britain. More than 1.9 million gallons of dispersant has been used to date on the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster.

Pathways of exposure are inhalation, ingestion, skin, and eye contact. Health impacts include headaches, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pains, dizziness, chest pains and tightness, irritation of eyes, nose, throat and lungs, difficulty breathing, respiratory system damage, skin irrigation and sensitisation, hypertension, central nervous system depression, neurotoxic effects, genetic damage and mutations, cardiac arrhythmia, and cardiovascular damage, among several others.

Not along ago, at the same marina, WKRG News 5 took a water sample to test for dispersants. The sample literally exploded when it was mixed with an organic solvent separating the oil from the water."


:cry:

[w8liftinglady]

7. could be liver or kidney failure

http://www.reefrelieffounders.com/drilling/2010/06/14/sciencecorps-org-gulf-oil-spill-health-hazards/

[Mimosa]

8. I fear a cover-up will happen

And the EPA and the media will be part of it.

[earth mom]

23. The cover up is already in full force.

:argh:

[me b zola]

9. The Gulf is open for business!

Buyer beware :(

[laughingliberal]

10. That can't be good.

Horrifying, in fact

[dixiegrrrrl]

11. My stomach turned when I heard Obama in an ad encouraging people

to visit the beaches. He said the beaches were fine, the water was fine, there was no reason to not come visit.
I think the ad was for Fla. but am not sure.

Even assuming all of the information was true,
the President of our country is shilling for business, making for- profit commercials.

[Vinca]

12. There's no way people exposed to those toxins aren't going to be ill at some point.

Sometimes it doesn't happen immediately and this whole "everything is hunky dory" meme may backfire big time.

[dipsydoodle]

14. The main one,

by an unfortunate coincidence, being 2-Butoxyethanol which is also used in many household cleaning products including some baby wipes.

[Fumesucker]

15. Obama had his family swimming in the Gulf the other day..

This is pure alarmism, the Gulf is fine and there's nothing to worry about.

You Professional Leftists should be ashamed of yourselves for spreading rumors.


















Yes, it's :sarcasm:

[Capitalocracy]

30. According to another DUer

(but don't quote me on it) the place Obama swam was a river outlet, not actual Gulf water.

I think it's disgusting that he is trying to convince us that everything's fine just to help out BP. This could put people's lives in danger.

And even more disturbing is how many people were fawning over the pics on this forum. I couldn't even believe it. You don't recognize propaganda when you see it? This is the smoking gun for me that it's not just Tim Geithner, it's not just Rahm Emanuel, Obama is willing to strip down and get in the water to pose for photos to convince us that everything's fine when it's not. This shit is going too far.

How many people will think it's safe to swim in that water now because of Obama's pictures?

[liam_laddie]

32. St. Andrew's Bay, at Panama City, FL (mapquest it)

This bay is separated from the Gulf by some substantial barrier islands. There's one 1/4 mile wide channel from the Gulf into this bay; there are a few larger bays which branch out from St. Andrew's. Obama flew into Tyndall AFB, which is on the southeastern shore of this bay, opposite the city. Hard to say if the Corexit cocktail is in these bays at present, but the local watermen would surely know.

[lunatica]

16. It's just the flu

move along. Buncha crybabies! Probably looking for a free handout from the government.



:sarcasm:

[Spheric]

17. K&R For exposure (no pun intended).

People need to understand just how toxic this stuff is.

[pleah]

18. K&R

[Usrename]

19. This sounds like liver damage.

If it is, this kind of thing is often not reversible.

In a just society, some of the people behind this would be facing criminal prosecution. Even though I have historically been opposed to the death penalty, I feel as if some of these crimes are capital crimes. They will no doubt kill us all if don't do anything to stop them. History has shown that the same offenders keep popping back up in high seats of power.

[DirkGently]

20. Butbutbutbut ... "the oil is GONE!" nt

[tom_paine]

21. Now THAT'S the kind of PR problem BP and the vile Corporate Government can handle!

Gushing oil befouling hundreds of miles of coastline at the same time? BIG PR no-no.

Peasant Illnesses trickling out one or even dozens of a time? Easily disappeared, with some peripheral Corporate M$M coverage too little too late. But it does give the Corporate Overlords Plausible Deniability.

This is a script BP and the Corporate Oligarchy can handle, like they easily handled the 9-11 Responders' being lied to by Bush's EPA. (BP wasn't involved in that one, but they are part of the Corporate Oligarchy)

Sad. We poor peasants will be getting the shaft like this more and more in the future. When it collapses, rest assured we will get the shitty end of the stick then, too.

[Blue_In_AK]

22. My personal feeling is that there is a coverup of gigantic proportions

going on with regard to the condition of the Gulf. There's no way that much oil and dispersant could have been dumped in the ocean without doing serious damage to the ecosystem. It sickens me that they're trying to say that the Gulf is "safe" now.

Please watch these two videos regarding "dead fish." Coincidence?

[HCE SuiGeneris]

25. Corporate America will bury these people

in a deluge of bought press, payoffs, and mis-information... eventually actually putting them in the ground as the end result of their poisonous actions.

It's fucking insane that we allow this maltreatment.

[femrap]

26. Corexit is going to end

up killing people....it already has killed thousands, if not millions of fish, birds, and dolphins.

I hate Nalco and the fucking morons who allowed this toxin to be used....1.8 million gallons of the poison.

[pgodbold]

27. Well... I live in Florida and I won't set foot in the gulf or eat the seafood. Damn shame.

[bertman]

28. So sad and so maddening. Our government is supposed to be protecting US. Not BP. nt

[yawnmaster]

29. I wonder what the medical diagnosis is. Has anyone seen it? eom

[Michigan-Arizona]

31. Before explosion contractor claimed Bp dumping chemicals

Contractor claimed Bp dumped chemical's into the well before explosion. Here is a link to his claim, http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/20/AR2010072002038.html
