Erm I dont think you quite read the post right, this isn't a disease. It's caused by chemical pollution that effects the biological makeup of
embryo's.
But it could mearly be a firstwave, by this i mean (and im no expert on marine life so someone please correct me if i'm wrong) oysters may be the
aquatic version of insects in this case. As insects were and still sometimes are used in area of radiation or various toxic problems, for detection
purposes. When you see the insects start to die, you know your in a high danger area. So maybe this is a similar thing with the oysters, they may just
be the first things affected.
As for how they get from oysters to us? Well last time i checked oysters are still the most widely accepted aphrodisiac and you shove them down your
throat. What better transport could pollution ask for?
