36. The current complaints aren't coming in from Houston
but from places like Grand Isle LA, Ocean Shores MS, Pensacola FL. They started complaining about the burning throats, coughing, itchy rashes--the current symptoms--after the spill, not before. All of their symptoms are consistent with corexit contamination. There have been systematic efforts to suppress and under report. At this point, the cover-up is not "theoretical." Numerous reports have stated that the government, the Coast Guard, EPA, and BP have been shown to be providing incomplete reports and deliberately suppressing information to mislead the public. Whatever contamination they may have had before the oil spill, they are evidently suffering from more now.

EPA's "sniff" testing has been a joke. If that's the best test that the EPA has at their disposal, they have no business calling themselves scientists. They are using primitive folk remedies to avoid doing hard science for fear of the conclusions they will find. They have no desire to report the truth.

People's health is at risk. This is not "theoretical."
