After the 53rd mile, Diana Nyad was forced to abandon her life-time dream of swimming the 103 mile swim. She felt nausiated and her shoulder started bothering her. Asthma set in and it became very difficult for her to continue.
Could the cause be "COREXIT"? I don't think anyone took in the idea that the culprit could have been a poisoned ocean. Maybe after all is said and done, we will hear more on what happened.
I wish her will. More to be revealed.
Mmmmmm.... Corexit. With 2-butoxyethanol, that stuff in Spot Shot carpet cleaner that makes your fingers numb. And n-hexane, which is metabolized to the neurotoxin, 2,5-hexanedione, which causes long-term neuropathy. I vote for 2-butoxyethanol as the culprit, it's much quicker acting.
[Sidebar: Don't you love when people have names that correspond to what they do? Nyad = naiad, a water nymph]

I am seriously wondering why Diana Nyad did not have her blood tested after she quit to see if there were any VOC's. She, and her entire entourage of friends and professionals, must be completely oblivious to the fact that she was swimming in a toxic ocean. COREXIT, people, duh!
