The problems began for the Scheblers a few weeks after the April 20 blow-out. “Our first clue were rashes we both got early in May. Both my husband and I couldn’t get rid of the rashes and had to get cream from our doctor,” Schebler noted, “I never had a rash in my life.”
Then, on “July [23], my husband Warren mowed the lawn. It was hot so he got in the pool to cool off afterward. That afternoon he had severe diarrhea and very dark urine. This lasted about 2 days,” she revealed.

Initially, they reasoned this was caused by the heat. The following week Mr. Schebler again mowed the lawn and went in the pool, and again he was sickened with the same severe symptoms.
Suspicious that the pool may be a problem, the family set out to get the water tested. “We have a 15 year old and felt we owed it to him to live in a clean, healthy environment,” said Mrs. Schebler.
The Scheblers found Robert Naman, a Mobile, Alabama chemist who’s performed multiple tests (1, 2, 3) for WKRG Channel 5, also out of Mobile.
“Warren collected a water sample from the pool filter on August 17th… packed the sample according to Mr. Naman’s instructions, and overnighted it to his Mobile, Ala. lab that same day,” she noted.
The results were delivered by Naman over the phone on August 27 at 11:00 a.m. EDT. A copy of the findings were then e-mailed to the Scheblers. To view the document, click here.
“Naman [said] our pool water sample we sent him contained 50.3 ppm [parts per million] 2-butoxyethanol marker for Corexit,” according to Mrs. Schebler. Tests for arsenic came back at less than .02 ppm.
A July letter from four top scientists noted, “Corexit 9527A contains 2-BTE (2-butoxyethanol), a toxic solvent that ruptures red blood cells, causing hemolysis (bleeding) and liver and kidney damage (Johanson and Bowman, 1991, Nalco, 2010).”
The safety data sheet provided by Nalco, the manufacturer of Corexit 9527A, warns, “Harmful if absorbed through skin. May be harmful if swallowed. May cause liver and kidney effects and/or damage. There may be irritation to the gastro-intestinal tract.”
Mr. Schebler’s “severe diarrhea and very dark urine” appear to indicate gastro-intestinal tract irritation.
BP Press Officer Daren Beaudo released a statement on August 28 that reads, “Unified Command records indicate that the last date of use of the Corexit 9527 was May 22,” almost three months before the samples were taken from the pool.
Yet, the Schebler’s report is the second time in the last 10 days that the 2-butoxyethanol marker for Corexit 9527A has been discovered near the Gulf. It has also been found near the Florida border in Cotton Bayou, AL, at about 1/4 the level as in Homosassa, FL. A WKRG segment from August 19 featured an inland water sample that tested for 13.3 ppm of the Corexit dispersant.
The question remains, how did this chemical find its way into the Schebler’s pool in such a high concentration?
“At night we would hear very low aircraft, including helicopters. We figured they were just heading to help out in the Gulf,” and Mrs. Schebler added that she was told, “The prevailing winds from the Gulf are easterly — and when they spray, it is airborne — and that we are right in the path of those winds.” It was also noted that, “We had alot of rain here before my husband got sick, and wondered what was going on… We had been having daily downpours in July.”
There is no way to be sure at this point. Though she stated, “Friends a few miles away… are having [a] similar situation. They are now thinking of getting their water tested.”
As for the family’s current physical well being, “We both still have rashes that will not go away if we stop the cream we were given by our doctor. Warren still gets diarrhea on and off – this never happened with this frequency before.”
But the trauma is not only physical. Here are the answers of the Scheblers when asked about the current situation at their home and in their area:
“We spoke to a number of mothers and fathers last evening [August 27]. Most have not even heard of Corexit. … But for the most part, parents with small children were concerned.” “Some of the neighbors we spoke to were more worried about home values than pollution.” “We are hoping for someone to come and do more samplings, we were told we shouldn’t eat anything from outside as it probably will all be tainted. It seems that we are the first to check on this, we’re sure all our neighbors on this coast will have the same outcome.” “We are lost. We would like more testing. We’ve reached out to a few people we thought could tell us where we go from here, but haven’t as of yet received any direction. We are not completely able to grasp what this means.” “We feel it is a horrible environment to live in and frankly, would like to leave the area. We believe that if this substance is in our pool, it could very well be in the air, especially because of the rashes we continue to apply medication to. We’re not sure if this will enter the groundwater, or even already has. We feel other people need to know that if it’s in our backyard, it is most definitely in other backyards.” “Where we go from here, we do not know.”Additional responses shared by the Scheblers:
- A friend told us a few months ago that [the nuclear power station located less than 15 miles north is] checking constantly for the underwater plumes, because they could shut down the plant.
- Warren cleans the lanai [around the pool] with a power washer, no chemicals at all. We’ve never used or purchased Simple Green [which contains 2-butoxyethanol].
- We were stunned to see our beautiful, wine red daylillies turn a yellow-white color and die [around the end of June]. The plant kept producing sickly blooms after that, which would die on the stem. We’ve never seen a red flower turn color. The plants are 3 years old. Extremely odd – we should have taken pictures of that, but didn’t…
- One of our dogs had severe diarrhea for a week [in early May]. Neighbors have reported similar findings.
- BP Press Officer Daren Beaudo’s August 28 statement on dispersant use: “The last day of all dispersant use was July 19… Unified Command has not used any dispersants since then.”
- Because the Unified Command claims to no longer be using dispersant since as of July 19, does not mean all dispersant use has ended. As BP Mobile Incident Commander Keith Seilhan revealed last week, “‘We are not using dispersants and haven’t been for some time’… But when asked whether contractors who operate in state waters could be, he said he could not be certain. ‘We have lots of contractors, but no one should be using them.’”
- Why would dispersants still be in use? See yesterday’s article in the Pensacola News Journal, that reported documents show tons of submerged oil being removed by the bucket full from Pensacola coast — Feds, BP still in public denial

Exclusive* Credit: FloridaOilSpillLaw.com “Our heads are still swimming,” stated Barbara Schebler of Homosassa, Florida, who received word last Friday that test results on the water from her family’s swimming pool showed 50.3 ppm of 2-butoxyethanol, a marker for the dispersant Corexit 9527A used to break up and sink BP’s oil in the Gulf of Mexico.
The problems began for the Scheblers a few weeks after the April 20 blow-out. “Our first clue were rashes we both got early in May. Both my husband and I couldn’t get rid of the rashes and had to get cream from our doctor,” Schebler noted, “I never had a rash in my life.”

The reason dispersants are still being sprayed is because the oil leak was never plugged to begin with. It's a three-ring circus where BP is concerned.

The Scheblers should have their livers tested. Corexit is a known liver toxin and dark urine is one symptom of hepatitis…chemically-induced hepatitis.

It’s a sad irony, that even though there’s “WAREHOUSE’S OF PRODUCT”, all I ever read, is about “corexit/2-butoxyethanol”!
There is NEVER, ANY Evidence of “Industrial Oil Eating Microbes”, used! It’s always this corexit dispersant, that only KILLS everything else, in the process of ‘cleaning up the oil’!
So, with this in mind, “please remember”, that these companies can be charged with the “R.I.C.O. ACT”! As they demand to use a
dangerous product,intead of a PROVEN NON TOXIC One!!! (No wonder I have ‘nerve damage’!
I used Simple Green, for years!!!!(While it says on the bottle, “Non-Toxic”!))
Here’s a link, for Industrial Oil Eating Microbes; http://www.sarvabioremed.com/
(Then they HAVE THE NERVE, “to spray it on top of us, while we sleep”! Remember this, “It’s got a ‘Fruity Odor’”! Applied by those, “with No Conscience”….)
“No Soul, No Conscience. No Conscience, No Soul”!

We are the coulple that are in this story. We thank you Mr. Higgins for picking this up. We are overwhelmed and unable to wrap our brains around this. We haven't had anyone step forward to do more testing. We've spent the past 2 days warning people down here, most are not even aware of what Corexit is!! This is costing us $$. The cost of testing is high; our naturopathic Drs. aren't covered by insurance. But we're pushing on. Not sure where this will take us – but see lab testing, gigantic bills, and trying to remove ourselves from this toxic environment! As more people down here test, they'll run into the same walls we are running into. It isn't easy, we could lose everything, no matter which way we go.

I hope you are able to sue the crap out of BP and you should sue the government too, since BP cannot spray this stuff without the Government’s go ahead. And that it is 9527A is very important! Very, because many of us have suspected all along due to other similar reports and toxic effects that this was not the 9500 being sprayed. In fact I suspect that the 9500 was hardly used at all. I would like you to consider putting a legal defense fund account together on Paypal and asking for donations. If you have a lawyer, you should discuss that with him. I am so very sorry that this happened to you, but your case, may be *THE case that cracks the coverup wide open.
Please keep us updated on everything. We want to hear from you. I want to hear from you.
I will keep you and your family in our prayers, and hope for your speedy recovery and no permanent health damage.
Once again, I am so saddened and upset that this happened to you and your family.

I thought to ask, I realized you mentioned the dog, which could have been sickened by ingestion, but what makes me wonder. Can you take a camera, and take pictures of the plants around your area. Perhaps you will find more evidence.
You need to keep a diary and you need to backdate it. Put names of other neighbors and the like who also might have or did witness events.
You need to organize with your immediate neighbors first. Talk about pooling resources to get further testing. Find out who is a lawyer or legal secretary or assistant, who is law enforcement, military, medical. Then you can attack this problem head on from many angles. Do not count on local politicians to help. That is a crap shoot at best. Then start branching out, because chances are, you are not the only ones with symptoms. The more people get out and talk to each other, the more you are all likely to find each other. It is harder to intimidate and silence a large group of people, than it is to scare one isolated sick family–Safety in Numbers.
And yea this will affect Property values. No one wants live in a Cancer Cluster or a Dialysis Cluster or a Liver Transplant cluster.
You need to consider class action law suit. Because this will have poisoned an entire community.
Exposure to this chemical can also cause Miscarriages. Have there been a rash of those? You don’t have to ask people, just put it out there. That way you are not prying into private business, just putting information out and letting people decide how much they want to participate if the info might apply to them.
This causes brain fog, which in some elderly patients could be confused with the beginnings of dementia. Florida has large retirement communities which means lots of elderly folk with all sorts of underlying health conditions. Someone with Asthma or COPD would have a heck of a time. Someone with skin allergies, eczema, or any sort of evironmental sensitivies would be in hell.
Anyone who already has irritable Bowel syndrome will be triggered, and othe gasterointestinal conditions could be irritated or worsened.
My advice to you, make a flyer, front and back page with some information. And I would pass it out at your local churches first thing sunday morning before services. You will need to put contact information on there. It can be a phone number, e-mail, or what have you. You need to connect.
Other things to look for. Florida is Bug Heaven because it is tropical, warm, etc., Do you notice the absence of bugs? Others affected by Corexit say there are no flies, no mosquitoes, no fleas on their dogs. Are the ants and bees gone as well? What about those huge cockroaches? Because 2-butoxyethanol is a primary ingredient in various insecticides used to control ants, termites, flies, wasps, and the like.
What about birds? Or wildlife acting strangely or finding a lot of dead animals like mice, birds, lizards, frogs, snakes. Things close to the ground are or in the water will be saturated. Birds eat everything this would kill even if they aren’t water birds. So they would get a double dose of ingenstion and absorption.
Any fish kills? Or dead animals washing ashore?
Like I said, Diary. 3 ring binders work. Make 3 copies. One hand done, the other two photocopies. Keep in chronological order. Do not give the original to anyone. That is yours. Do not even admit that you have it. Documentation is the key. If you have a camera, camera phone or better yet, many digital cameras can take moving footage for 90 seconds. Use that to document dead animals, sick plants, people, whatever seems relevant. take pictures of those planes. And watch for VOOs in the water, there have been reports of those spraying dispersants at the shoreline.
Write down when the planes and copters fly overhead, time, date, etc., How many if you can see them, what the look like {even if you don’t know what they are} What insignia are on them. Names of Boats in the area, when where, how long what they did.
Leave nothing to chance.
And tell others to do the same.

Warren and Barbara:
i am sending healing vibes your way. I hope that you look into natural ways to decontaminate your body from the toxins.
What does not make sense in this story is the lack of plant damage. It seems that if that much 2-butoxyethanol (can’t believe how easily that rolls off the tongue after four months) could get into the water without causing significantly more plant damage in the neighborhood.
However, the test results indicate the 2-boe comes from Corexit. It’s strange. If I was sitting on a jury to determine BP’s guilt in this one case, it would be difficult because of the lack of damage to the rest of the area.
I don’t think it is worth testing the rest of the area to prove your point, though. I am sure it’s loaded with toxins. I was on Anna Maria Island for two weeks in June (packing up my mom and sister who moved to Ohio to escape the oil) and my lungs felt like they were on fire, particularly with the onshore wind. Fortunately I left two weeks before the first tar balls arrived (the tarballs that have received almost no media attention because of the precariousness of the real estate and tourism markets). It is better to use the resources you have to move while you can before people wake up and realize how bad this really is. Your health and lives are worth too much to wait and see what happens. You can sue BP all you want, but I doubt BP will be solvent a year from now.
Best of luck to you. I am so sorry that you are suffering these symptoms.

There was this bucket of rainwater. I was supposed to empty it last week. I saw it yesterday, about 1/2 full of rainwater. The thing IS, is that if it stays even a few days with rainwater in it, it'll have mosquitoe larvae in it, in a few days!
It hasn't had ANY mosquitoe larvea in it, for all of 2010! So, maybe all it takes, is to take a bucket of rainwater & then take a bucket of tap water, & see what has mosquitoe larvae in it, after it sits a few days! This might, 'blow some lids off', as far as cover-ups go. Saves getting sick, via a swimming pool.
And, it's kinda weird, that I have not gotten bitten by mosquitoe's, this whole season! I never really thought about this, until I read this article. Yet, any one, who's seen a bucket of rainwater KNOWS, that it has to be emptied, or mosquitoe's will breed in it, & only after a few days….

I live on the east coast just north of Daytona Beach. I had constant headaches since early July, then around the 23rd had severe asthma, congestion, and hoarseness. My son has been having rashes for about a month,usually after fishing on the Halifax River. There has been an huge upswing of respiratory problems particularly in older people. Because some of the symptoms mimic other kinds of medical problems, mostly no one is making the connection. Somehow people are convincing themselves that the east coast is safe. We had tarballs on our beaches too. Doctors know nothing about chemical injury and are diagnosing respiratory problems as “allergies”, COPD, and other things. I don’t buy it and have taken river water, sand and ocean samples to have them analyzed.
We are indeed talking about the symptoms of exposure to oil and dispersants. Makes a list of all the symptoms and circulate them around the neighborhood and get a feel for how many people are suffering. Riki Ott has resources for doctors and her book Sound Truth gives you a good idea of what the Exxon Valdez victims suffered.
As for me, I was sick for so long, I left to visit my brother in Vermont. Here, I can breathe and most symptoms are gone. if I go back and am sick again, I will know its in the air.
My heart goes out to you, and I am glad you did the testing, because it is scientific proof.
