A New Jersey man lost all his limbs after contracting an infection from the Vibrio vulnificus bacteria while crabbing on the beach. The ‘brain-eating’ amoeba Naegleria fowleri was behind the death of a North Carolina man who contracted the infection after swimming in a man-made lake.The bacteria Vibrio vulnificus is called a ‘flesh-eater’ because it causes necrotizing fasciitis: a skin condition in which the body’s soft tissue is rapidly and progressively broken down.
The ‘brain-eating’ Naegleria folweri sounds like it comes straight from a horror film. It’s a parasite that typically infects people swimming in lakes and rivers, travelling through the nose and into the brain. Vibrio vulnificus lives in salt water, or brackish water where fresh and salt water mix. “Entering brackish water with a cut puts you at risk of Vibrio infection,” Dr. Ellerin said.What precautions can you take?
Second, shower after getting out of the water. Showering afterwards, especially with soap, can prevent infections. Parents should also check their children to make sure they haven’t developed new cuts or scratches. If you are unlucky enough to get scratched, rinse the wound thoroughly – irrigation is key – and apply some antibiotic ointment. If you fall ill and develop diarrhea after swimming, you should seek medical attention right away.Both recreational and drinking water can be contaminated with pathogens and cause illness, according to the CDC.
If you are going to swim in a pool, check if you can see the drain – the water should be crystal clear, and drain covers should be secured and in good repair.
Y’all I’m really finna do a back flip into this 😂😂
A flesh eating biological weapon can be used as a fourth strike weapon killing everything on earth

Thanks for sharing, I need to know about this deadly bacteria.

Uhh...I stay away from lakes but could this possibly make it's way to our drinking water? If do, have means to kill it?🤔
It's a Russian and Chinese Communist plot. To pollute our water.
You used the same graphic for the Michigan spill of cyanide and aluminum killing fish from a company.
When SAGcoup takes over a city & it's hospitals, like Philadelphia this week, news media runs this story there. Foods in the region are poisoned w/something that causes a rash, citizens see this, then go to the hospital to treat the rash, are killed at hospitals. SAG does it.
Maybe that's what happened to liberals👀👍😁
WOW!!!!
Nightmare , just being around it is dangerous. People ( with any sense) stopped swimming in it years ago. But then, there's drinking water from it and ...
Coincidental. My ex wife lurks in a pools and is a danger to the public.
