If the 4.9 million barrels of oil that spilled into the Gulf of Mexico during the 2010 Deep Water Horizon spill was a ecological disaster, the two million gallons of dispersant used to clean it up apparently made it even worse -- 52-times more toxic. That's according to new research...Actually crude oil isn't toxic. It's just snacks for bacteria. Big quantities of it can suffocate critters in the immediate vicinity, but that's only because it's gloppy, not because it's poisonous.
