This happened on the inner side of shell island. I have tried doing some research to see if that is a common thing and can't seem to find anything. This was after swimming for about an hour. If this is related to our little problem then I think it would be sane to say, "the waters are not safe".

I can't agree more with your statement. There are documented cases of people getting sick... (Mary) your water may be beautiful and appear clean but even USF researchers have noted concentrations of chemicals and oil present in water that can not be seen by the naked eye. I think you are in denial Mary, you don't think all those chemicals and VOC's travel with the current... if it is in Pensacola I doubt your water is clean, even if it appears that way.... 85 million gallons of oil, almost 2 million gallon of Corexit, and unknown amounts of VOC's and arsnic.... you are a FOOL if you get in that water! I am in the Tampa area and won't even get in the gulf!!! Holly! I can’t agree more with your statement.

The sea creatures (sharks, dolphins, fish of all types)are very close to shore trying their best to survive. I understand that you may have a business that needs tourist dollars, but the truth is that things are dying on Walton County beaches because of the BP disaster. I live on a Walton County beach and things I see there are very disturbing! And so far, we are lucky compared to Pensacola, out neighbor! If our government doesn't start acting like they should, and start allowing foreign help, we are in a ton of trouble! And that is the TRUTH! Mary, the “truth” is that the oil in the water IS toxic!

I live in Walton County and there is nothing like what Dawn is mentioning. As a matter of fact our beaches are clear and it's gorgeous here. I have been no more than a mile from the shoreline for the entire length of this disaster and no one I know has been ill from the spill. I know county officials, medical personal, beach workers and none have heard of any of medical complaints in the county that were actually related to anything oil spill related. I even know workers offshore who dive into those waters, around 50 miles from the main spill site- which isn't pretty... but they are all in perfect health. Stop spreading rumors and start spreading TRUTH. This is BS. I live in Walton County and there is nothing like what Dawn is mentioning.

There have been complaints of surfers getting blisters on their balls after opening their eyes in the water while surfing. Many bull sharks are very close to the shoreline.

We put poison in our drinking water and call it “better”. We have a rupture in the ocean that (accidentally?) releases millions of gallons of toxic oil and add a more toxic substance to make it “better”. There was a time when a person who questioned the things that were happening as potentially being planned was called crazy. It now seems that a person who does not question whether the ongoing disasters are planned should be called crazy. The dichotomies are amazing.
