Does Your State Allow This?

Careful Muddy. There is no "R" in May. Bad month to eat oysters. It will be at least September before I'm back in em'

That was a good rule for your great grandfather. But now a days we have refrigeration to keep oysters fresh and alive while shipping/trucking. They harvest them here year around.

There's a phenomena called cultural wisdom. Its the reason we don't eat poison mushrooms, or do other stuff like eating oysters in months that don't have R's.
In other words, some ancestor spent many hours on some prehistoric toilet learning that rule the hard way so you wouldn't have to. Challenge that wisdom with care, Grasshopper!

Tell that to every seafood restaurant on both east and west coast that will sell oysters to literally millions of oysters to people in the next 4 months (months without R's).

If they made people sick in those months wouldn't every hotel resort be backed up with tourist diarreah flowing from the bathrooms?
