Episode Details

North Carolina hit a worrying high with 135 Vibrio cases last year, 13 of them deadly Vibrio vulnificus — a flesh-eating bacteria that kills 20% of victims. As summer heats up, so does the risk, especially from raw seafood like oysters or wading in saltwater with open wounds. Most cases stem from contaminated food, but the real danger? People with liver disease, cancer, diabetes, or weakened immunity — for them, this infection can spiral fast, even leading to amputations. Stay alert, stay informed, and stay safe this season.
