Florida Reports First Vibrio Death This Year | Miami News

Published 2 weeks, 6 days ago
Description

Florida reports its first Vibrio vulnificus death of the year — a rare, flesh-eating bacteria that’s deadly for those with weakened immune systems. Cases are popping up across the state, with spikes tied to hurricane years. The bacteria thrives in warm seawater and spreads through raw shellfish or open wounds — leading to rapid, severe illness that can require amputation. Stay safe: cook seafood thoroughly, cover wounds, and seek emergency care if symptoms appear.
