- I think it's a bit more involved than that. From what I've read, it isn't completely clear that Pfiesteria is toxic per se, but P. shumwayae is a nasty little bug nevertheless, capable of destroying skin tissue on fish directly. Whoever wrote the bulk of this article is either misinterpreting the current state of research or is trying to whitewash the issue; certainly the given references say a lot more than the article seems willing to admit. Overall, this article needs serious help and is worse than useless for anyone trying to learn about Pfiesteria. Haikupoet 03:56, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
