Flesh-eating bacteria Vibrio found in Alabama waters: Is it safe to swim? | AL.com

Here is what the articles say. Looks like it's all salt and brackish water related. Enjoy the fish up North!! Stay away from the raw shellfish and fish from ocean/brackish waters.

"The bacteria - known as Vibrio - is found in lakes, rivers, along the coast and in other warm, brackish bodies of water. The bacteria can lead to destructive soft-tissue infections and other illnesses.

"Most soft-tissue infections occur with either injury or with conditions such as poorly controlled diabetes or low immunity. However, sometimes otherwise healthy people can develop a skin infection after skin injury and being exposed to natural bodies of water. Some bacteria can cause more severe infections than others," said Dr. Karen Landers, Assistant State Health Officer, ADPH.

Three cases of flesh-eating bacteria have been reported in Alabama since March. One case involved the consumption of raw oysters from another state, the other two people - both of whom had open wounds - contracted the bacteria in water near Mobile Bay, the Mississippi sound and Dauphin Island areas. All of the victims have recovered from their illnesses."

Yeah, I kinda figured it was safe. It pertained to salt water, but then the news said ALL lakes and rivers. Misleading. I was just talking to my boss about fishing Friday and he mentioned this to me. I am still going. I just thought I'd share this with you all.

Be safe!

350 degree grease cures a lot of problems.

I seen the same thing on the new . It has nothing to do with eating fish. Just don't get in the water if you have a cut . This happens every year you just don't hear about it much. Bob is correct is sait water. There's only about 6 cases so far.

It's happening in TN as well. For the safety of the general public, I am proposing a ban on all jet skis and pleasure boats for the remainder of 2017! This is only to protect their flesh, no personal motive at all!
