Oysters are NOT a joke!

Q. What do you get when you cross a rabbit with an oyster? A. The Oyster Bunny. That’s a fabulous joke for Easter, right? Considering Dave and I just got back from having Red Lobster for dinner… it’s perfect! We didn’t partake in any oysters though, and it’s a good thing since I wasn’t “Oyster Aware” until tonight when I read the facts at BeOysterAware.com. Oysters are serious business and NOT a joke.

Did you know that consuming raw Gulf oysters can be deadly to those that already have liver disease, iron overload disease (hemochromatosis), diabetes, cancer (including lymphoma, leukemia, Hodgkin’s disease), stomach disorders, or any illness or medical condition that weakens the body’s immune system? Wow. That’s majorly scary stuff. I’ve never been an oyster eater myself, and I don’t have any of these conditions BUT I know people that do. I plan to spread the word. You should too.
