The plagues are coming. You can see them every time we are shown a shot of the Gulf.
What plagues?
These...
When the creatures in the sea in the Gulf die from the poisons spewing out rapidly the
fish will float tot he top and start to decay
Some will hit the beaches, rotting fish and tarballs will be phase 1
Then the larger critters will begin to wash up: sharks, dolphins, and manatees. Phase 2
Then the water will become unable to support life of any kind.
The creatures that clean the water will be next. The oysters and clams will die and there will be nothing to clean up the water.
then the flies will find the fish, the sharks, dolphins, and manatees.
maggots will then emerge.
That will be phase 3

What diseases will erupt from this mess is anyone's guess. I would think at the very LEAST that there will be skin sores if anyone goes in the water once the fish start to die.
Bacteria will be rampant in the water, as they
...eat the oil and render the water oxygenless.
...eat the dead creatures that are still floating in the ooze, decomposing
...bloated decomposing things will be in the water polluting it with the bacteria that eat them
Sea gulls and other birds that eat anything will be eating some of this decaying stuff, and they will spread the bacteria on to land, and will pass some of it thru their feces.
Some of the people living near the coast, will be infected with diseases, get severe diarrea, and many diseases we haven't seen in decades. (water born diseases like typhoid fever, etc)
I suspect that the next stage will be for the marsh land creatures to start to die off from the oil. That would be all the fisheries where the adults go to spawn, and the little baby fish, then frogs, catfish, and alligators, as well as water Snakes will be next. All the shrimp and crayfish will be decimated.
These things will either float in the marshlands, or decay on the spot. Flies will be epidemic. All kinds of flies from no-see-ums to large blow flies...with fruit flies, and other nasties.
This will be like the plagues of Egypt.
Pray for relief.
The only thing that can relieve this is getting the Obastard to quit or leave.

Stay away from the polluted areas. The worst is yet to come.
