Flesh-Eating Bacteria at the Beach?!

Did you know a flesh-eating bacteria is making waves at US beaches? Vibrio vulnificus can sneak in through the tiniest cut or even from eating raw shellfish—yikes! Florida’s already seen record cases and deaths this year, and thanks to warming oceans, it’s spreading to new spots. The scariest part? It can turn deadly fast, especially for people with health issues. Before you hit the water or order oysters, double-check for cuts and ask about food safety. Stay safe out there! #HealthAlert #BeachSafety #Vibrio #Health
