I’m old school. I get my flesh-eating bacteria the old way . . . in the ocean and my shark bites. . . and jellyfish stings

Vibrio is all over the Gulf and also in brackish water.

Scary stuff!

A friend of mine contracted a vibrio infection due to fishing in the surf off the Florida panhandle. He was hospitalized for a month and suffered long term damage that contributed to his disability and early death within a decade.

My neighbor died from flesh eating bacteria (1995).
They thought it was from a scratch.
From a rose bush.
Sad day.
