“The department recommends that persons with open wounds or broken skin should avoid exposure to warm salt or brackish waters. Open wounds include cuts, scrapes or other abrasions. Most at risk for Vibrio vulnificus infections are those with underlying health concerns, particularly chronic liver disease, kidney disease or weakened immune system.”-Florida Health Department

Local news reports say at least 14 people have been attacked by ‘flesh eating’ bacteria, and seven have died so far this year.  In 2013, 41 Floridians were attacked and 12 died, meaning these little buggers (which went on a rampage after the 2006 BP oil spill) have a high kill rate.   And these numbers are just for the Gulf state of Florida.

Yet again, Florida & Flesh Eating bacteria
