Fucking hell. Thousands of Americans are swimming around in this toxic shit :

Morons like this guy below are telling Americans it's okay to swim, and to take their children swimming, and for people from other states to come and swim in this oily sticky, sickening stew, too. The tourist dollar is all that matters :
Don't forgot, the oil only now poisoning Florida's beaches is the stuff that gushed from the Gulf back in late April.
The EPA has been slow to act to warn Americans about how toxic this oil sludge is, sludge that will be washing up on beaches for months to come, even if a miracle earthquake closed off the multiple gushers of oil and methane tomorrow, 5000 feet down on the sea floor of the Gulf of Mexico. Now the EPA advises the following :
n Avoid entering areas where oil can be seen or smelled.The EPA got hammered for telling New Yorkers, and thousands of tourists, the air was safe to breathe around Ground Zero, in the days after 9/11 when it was clearly not. Maybe this time they decided they won't take part in helping to expose Americans to the equivalent of a mass poisoning.
n Avoid direct skin contact with oil, oil-contaminated water and sediments.
n Do not swim or ski in areas affected by the oil spill, and if traveling through the area by boat, take precautions when hoisting the boat anchor. If oil makes contact with skin, wash it off with soap and water.
n Do not harvest or eat fish found dead, fish with oily residue or fish that have a petroleum odor.
n Avoid boating through oil slicks or sheens.
n Young children, pregnant women, people with compromised immune systems and individuals with underlying respiratory conditions should avoid oily areas.
Prevent pets from entering oil-contaminated areas.
