Kind of not a great video. Interviewer says she is interviewing lady regarding the Exxon Valdez in alaska, then the lady says she is talking about grand Isle. Also dated from August. Weak and confusing, sorry.

I fail to see or imagine how oil in your body (even nonbiological oils) could dissolve any body part. It's not acid it's oil.

She does not say she's interviewing her regarding the Exxon spill, she mentions that the guest "survived" the Exxon spill....
Confusing? NOT !
NOTE to media outlets: Some people need everything spelled out clearly with sentences consisting of small words. When a video is used to convey a message it should be run at a very slow speed so all the tiny words can be captured in real time and understood !

Chemical Pneumonitis from Hydrocarbon Aspiration
While hydrocarbons have been reported to be toxic to various organ systems, the most frequent adverse effect is aspiration, which can cause a chemical pneumonitis from direct injury to the lung parenchyma. Other effects of aspiration are pulmonary edema, bronchospasm, and resultant hypoxia. On pathology, there is a necrotizing pneumonia along with direct destruction of capillaries, alveolar septae, and the pulmonary epithelium. The surfactant layer, which is composed of lipids, is made soluble by hydrocarbons, causing further damage. Subsequently, there can be atelectasis, interstitial inflammation, and hyaline membrane formation.

How absurd. I responded to a post above about this being related to Corexit, but my post was removed.
