NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana — All 125 commercial fishing boats helping oil recovery efforts off Louisiana's Breton Sound area have been recalled after four workers reported health problems, officials said.

The crew members aboard three separate vessels "reported experiencing nausea, dizziness, headaches and chest pains" mid-afternoon Wednesday, the US Coast Guard said in a statement.

Can this be "just" the oil (which is bad enough) or is there more going on? Could this be due to the chemicals which BP used to stop the surfacing of the oil just after the dissaster happened?

Crewmembers on 3 boats reported signs of illness but as much as 125 boats were called back.

According to this website trueslant.com... the fishermen had to sign a statement not to hold BP responsible for any claims and damages.
