Flesh Eating Bacteria Reported At Florida Beaches
JACKSONVILLE — Florida health officials are warning residents and tourists of a rare form of flesh-eating, poten- tially deadly bacteria that has made its way to Florida beaches.
The Vibrio vulnificus bac- terium grows fastest in warm saltwater and has already in- fected at least seven people, killing two this year in Florida. The state health department says there have been 32 cases in the past 12 months. Officials
say a spike in cases occurs from May to October when water is the warmest.
Florida Health Department spokeswoman Mara Burger says consuming or handling raw shellfish and swimming in warm saltwater can put people at risk. People with open wounds can also be exposed to Vibrio vulnificus through di- rect contact with seawater.
The bacterial infection can cause gastroenteritis, sepsis and can lead to amputation.
