The oil has never been an issue for me. I was raised on the MGC, and I always saw oil in the sand, and water, from regular plain ole oil. That corexit stuff bothers me deeply. The fact that it was just tossed out there, in the water, after all of the warnings (blah blah blah EPA) concerns me. And quite frankly, I don't know if I am ready to eat seafood harvested from the Gulf just yet. I sure am glad I bought all of that gulf shrimp right after that spill, and have tons in my freezer.
