For years, flesh-eating bacterial infections were so rare in the U.S. that even a single case would make national headlines. But here in 2019 the news is telling us that we are seeing flesh-eating infections “at a rate much higher than in previous years”, and this outbreak really seems to have escalated dramatically over the last couple of months. In fact, I found so many cases as I was doing research for this article that I had to simply stop reading at one point or I would have never gotten this article done in time. So in this article I will be sharing quite a few examples with you, but it is far from an exhaustive list.
Let’s start with a Tennessee man that was just killed by flesh-eating bacteria after a trip to the Florida panhandle. This is what his daughter had to say about his death…
“About 4:00 a.m. Saturday morning, 12 hours after we were in the water, he woke up with a fever, chills and some cramping. … They got to the hospital in Memphis around 8 p.m.,” Wiygul said in the post. “They took him back immediately. As they were helping him get changed into his hospital gown they saw this terribly swollen black spot on his back that was not there before.”That is how fast flesh-eating disease can kill you. If it is not treated immediately, there is a good chance you will die.
The man’s condition worsened over the next several hours. His immune system had been weakened by a bout with cancer, the daughter said, and he died Sunday afternoon.
And it doesn’t take much. One woman that had just moved to Florida recently died after getting a small cut on her leg “while walking along the coast on Anna Maria Island”…

Chicken manure.
Trump live tonight 7 pm .
Life is a flesh eating bacteria.
Bacteria is always in the water. If you have a cut or your immune system is low you will be infected. That's how it was explained to me. Economy is good. More people vacationing than in 8 years or more therefore more people affected. Guess you could blame Trump - everyone else does.
Don't go to roaring point.
Warmer water temperatures.
look at the pictures from baltimore inner harbor when they dumped all that raw sewage the other day. Whole western shore of the chesapeake is a dead zone.
Does anyone know if it affects dogs?
So that explains why Palosi looks so horrible.
Stay out of the water, wanna swim, go to a pool.

Yes but it's rare. Don't be overconfident by the word rare. It could be more common then reported since dog owners don't always take a dog to the vets for what they think is a minor hot spot or whatever. It gets worse dog dies. Owner thinks dog licking and biting made it worse and doesn't put 2 and 2 together why dog died.
Nanticoke has turned into a cesspool of freaks, drug addicts and illegals
It's the Demon-crat disease !!!
