" eventually dropping it to the seafloor where deep-sea microbes will feast on it for centuries."

"But the dispersants contain harmful toxins of their own and can concentrate leftover oil toxins in the water, where they can kill fish and migrate great distances.

The exact makeup of the dispersants is kept secret under competitive trade laws, but a worker safety sheet for one product, called Corexit, says it includes 2-butoxyethanol, a compound associated with headaches, vomiting and reproductive problems at high doses."

So it sounds like the microbes may suffer from 'indigestion'.

And of course their little headaches will lead to 'not tonight dear' curtailing of reproduction.

Maybe they can mix some Zantac and Tylenol into the dispersants so them microbes can 'get busy' on the dispersants...and with each other!
