An Inconvenient Symptomatology: Corexit poisoning and Dengue Fever
http://www.truth-out.org/florida-dengue-fever-outbreak-leads-back-cia-and-army-experiments61565


It is still unclear to what degree residents of the Gulf area, at large, have been or will be exposed to such chemicals in the long term, but there is mounting evidence that fishermen, cleanup workers, and others who spend significant time in contact with the Gulf waters are beginning to display symptoms consistent with chemically induced neurotoxicity. If dengue fever also spreads within the Gulf community, affecting a significant number of people, it will be increasingly difficult to differentiate the cause of symptoms in those who develop them; even in persons who test positive for dengue exposure, the additional possibility remains that chemical toxicity is present as well.

1. Remember Agent Orange? You may be too young.
During the Vietnam war, the Army swore that Agent Orange was only a defoliating chemical. They fought tooth and nail for this to be believed. It took years for the powers that be to admit that it was toxic.

I have not believed the government since then.

2. Here is an interesting link on the topic...
But others in the comments have lots of mosquitos! Some say they don't see any and they are needed for food, for bird, bats, etc.

3. After watching a few Youtubes on the Gulf areas foliage taking a hit...
I was wondering about he small creatures like bugs if they were being affected, being the bottom of the food chain. When you can smell the oil you are inhaling benzene and so is everything else that breaths. So we wait, and some day a hurricane will bring an oily sheen to the whole area. Then what?
