Why do you feel raw chicken livers would work and cooked one’s wouldn’t?
Vibrio vulnificus is no laughing matter. I live in Mississippi and fish along the coast quite a bit, it’s something you’ve always got to be concerned about there. It’s most common in brackish waters or where rivers flow into the sea and warmer waters make it a lot more active. You’re most likely to contract it if you have a skin cut. My hands are usually skinned up from working so I keep a spray bottle with a bleach solution on the boat which is a recommend precaution for those coming in contact with the gulf water. There are multiple cases of it all along the gulf coast every year, MS, Al, LA, FL are the primary places but as you see it can happen anywhere. If you get an infection it’s fast moving and they recommend you get to an emergency room as soon as you notice it. Delaying a few hours can let it spread to the point that they may have to amputate the infected limb. It’s got to be treated right then if the patient is going to survive without major damage.
To the poster that said he used to get these infections a lot, you didn’t get this stuff. It doesn’t go away on it’s own and you wouldn’t be alive now if it was untreated.
It’s bad stuff, real bad.

Raw meat is natural food for cats. That’s all I know.
