No official warning: There should be no problem unless they are contaminated with infectious agents like vibrio. That is the risk and many coastal rheumatologists recommend complete avoidance.

No answer.: You can contract hepatitis from oysters. Ask them who their supplier is. Unlikely, but still can happen. If you get sick from any infectious reason, you stop the Enbrel (etanercept) till you recover! your rheumatoid arthritis would wait it out!
