Amazon 7 #2 March 13, 2016 Hmmm 1976.... and the thing is a relative of cholera I never heard of this bug.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibrio_vulnificus Vibrio vulnificus is a species of Gram-negative, motile, curved, rod-shaped (Bacillus), Pathogenic bacteria of the genus Vibrio. Present in marine environments such as estuaries, brackish ponds, or coastal areas, V. vulnificus is related to V. cholerae, the causative agent of cholera.[3],[4] Infection with V. vulnificus leads to rapidly expanding cellulitis or septicemia.[5]:279 It was first isolated as a source of disease in 1976.[6] The capsule, made of polysaccharides, is thought to protect against phagocytosis. The observed association of the infection with liver disease (associated with increased serum iron) might be due to the capability of more virulent strains to capture iron bound to transferrin. Toxin production plays a relevant role in pathogenicity.[7] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

muff528 3 #4 March 13, 2016 Yep, this same bacteria convinced me to quit eating raw oysters for a while. Then I realized that they're just plain nasty, even without the bacteria. I do like them breaded and fried, Italian-style, though. I don't know if vibrio infections are relatively "new" here or just newly identified and tracked. So it's vibrio in saltwater and the amoeba in fresh water here. (At least you can see sharks and gators!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We always counted on the salt water to help it heal when I was a kid.... and we always seemed to have cuts and scrapes.... we walked around barefoot most of the summer..... we got cuts from stickers..cuts from shells as we were wading.. not exactly a couch potato when we were kids down there... and the salt water NEVER caused an infection.

Yeah, I hear you. It was the same way with me growing up going to the Alabama beach for 2 or 3 weeks every June. If I had a cold, I got better as soon as I got out there.
