The US Center for Disease Control (CDC) is warning of an increase in a disease β Vibriosis β caused by a bacteria β π·. π·πΆππ―πͺπ§πͺπ€πΆπ΄ β that lives in warm salt or brackish water. It's been around for a long time, so why the warning now?
The oceans are warming, which means the shoreline waters are warming even more. Along with locally-acquired malaria, this will make living in the southern states during summer miserable.
About 150β200 V. vulnificus infections are reported to CDC each year and about one in five people with this infection dieβsometimes within 1β2 days of becoming ill.ΒΉ
Some Vibrio vulnificus infections lead to necrotizing fasciitis, a severe infection in which the flesh around an open wound dies.Β²
Welcome to our future.
