Re: hey, guess what? i STILL wont eat any gulf seafood
All of that and not much more than this on bacteria...
>>""We've also seen a decrease in biodiversity in fisheries in certain areas. We believe we are now seeing another outbreak of incidence increasing, and this makes sense, since waters are starting to warm again, so **bacterial** infections are really starting to take off again. We think this is a problem that will persist for as long as the oil is stored on the sea floor.""<<
you may remember articles like this during the spill...
August 27, 2010
Researchers reporting in the journal
Science say they have discovered a new species of oil-eating bacteria living half a mile down in the Gulf of Mexico. Study author Terry Hazen discusses the finding and what these bacteria might mean for future oil spills.

What would happen if a huge spill occurred? I will tell you... a bacterial population explosion upsetting the balance of life in the gulf.
If they ever did (I do not remember) move forward with the spraying of the
Genetically-Modified microbes as they were discussing... that too.
So... if there is an *explosion* of bacterial infections... wouldn't it be expected?
Note that they expect this bacterial issue to *persist* as long as there is oil on the sea floor... no $hit.
how many other wells are leaking out there? I bet most all of them to one degree or another at some point over their lives.
