This happened to a friend of my father. And he lived in Pointe ala Hache and ate raw oysters right off the boat.

I've done that a few times, then I was told it was not a good idea. Apparently, the pathogens come from the seawater which is washed off in processing. I believed him enough to stop going it.

Never understood the months that end in R thing. About the only month that ends in R when the water temp would be low enough is December.
