Fisherman files restraining order against BP

Workers in shrimp boats have been complaining about aches and pains due to the oil spills in the ocean. Due to the oil spills a man, John Wunstell Jr., had said he had been paid by BP to use his boat to help with the oil spill in the ocean. He started having minor headaches and nasal irritation. Within' the next week he began having random nose bleeds and aches in his stomach. Wunstell asks "BP to give the workers masks and not harass workers who publicly voice their health concerns." Following that week 7 more men had been sent to the hospital that were on his crew. When wunstell was put into the hospital he had said that he was stripped of his clothing and washed several times before he could enter the hospital. When he asked for his clothing they said BP confiscated them.
I think that it's extremely tragic that this oil spill happened. If you talk to people in Norway this is a huge deal to them. When it comes to the United States it seems as if we dont care too much about it. It's extremely sad to see all the animals dieing from this oil spill and now that people are getting sick from it. I think we need to educate people more on the oil spills to show that it is a huge problem that we need to fix and that we need to prevent from happening.
