Oil spill clean-up workers report feeling ‘drugged, disoriented’
This was to be expected. Last week, the wives of some of the fishermen spoke out publicly about the symptoms their husbands were experiencing. This week, some fishermen are starting to come forward. In this WDSU TV interview, one of the fishermen reports feeling drugged, disoriented, tingling, fatigued, and also reporting shortness of breath and cough. These are symptoms that are consistent with what one might expect from exposure to hydrocarbons in oil. Maybe. But these are also some of the symptoms reported by individuals who were exposed to Corexit.
