Yes, "they" make their own rules. Because this is "their" country, duh.
As to the clams (and everything else) - IMO, if it lives in water, it absorbs all the cr-ap that there is in there. All kinds of toxins. So it is
"less safe" now than it was before the flood, with all the household and industrial chemicals, rat poison etc washed out. And it will remain "less
safe" for "some" period of time, required for those chemicals to break down and/or spread the cr-ap over wider area so that it's concentration in BOLA
will drop.
I don't know though, whether local authorities in BOLA had done a proper testing before issuing these warnings - or any testing at all. The village
doesn't even have anybody capable of such tests. Antonio has "some" knowledge of marine biology, but this is a more specific area.

Red tide is a no-no for any molluks, the months with "R" are confused with mussels, nothing to do with clams.

No true, amigo. All bi-valve strainer-feeders; clams, mussles, especially oysters, most shellfish in general are susceptible to the bacteria of
warmer waters in May, June, July and August. Or, don't believe it, and eat away. I won't. Mukluks taste better that time of year anyway.

Well bajarunner looks like you got your answer in true Baja Nomads fashion. If you eat clams after a hurricane you could have a great meal, get sick,
die or get arrested....hope that clears it up.....Oh, wait, I forgot to mention that it all changes if there is red tide or a month with an "R", in
that case you could have a great meal, get sick, die or get arrested....hope this clears it up, no need to thank me...

That pretty much sums it up, does it not?

Very similar to all the good advice given on my Hiway 5 thread.
You may get over the road with no problem, but you may get lost,
you may do just fine, or you may fall off the edge, you may get past the big rigs, and you may get stuck in the mud, etc. etc. ad infinitum.
With advice like this it is amazing that any newbie is willing to ask any reasonable question.
Thanks for clarifying such a complex subject.
(And, I will not disclose my source, but my most trusted local compadre resident of LABay said the clams were just fine to eat)

D T, that is an awesome theory, but since you didn't consider the potential for catching crabs while digging clams its incomplete.

Yes kinda like the rest of the Nomad regulars. Ask a question, don't get the answer you were looking for, start whining. Post a response, others
disagree, Attack! Peace and Love for sure.

Did you get rid of them every time but the first?
