Alertă pe litoralul american: Bacteria „mâncătoare de carne” a ucis cinci oameni

Authorities in Louisiana are warning about a rise in Vibrio vulnificus infections, with five out of nine reported cases resulting in death. This deadly bacterium thrives in warm seawater, and all affected individuals required hospitalization. Symptoms can develop rapidly, and immediate medical attention is advised for any wounds exposed to saltwater. The CDC notes that infections can also occur from consuming raw shellfish. Climate change is contributing to the spread of this bacterium, with increased risks noted in Europe as well, particularly during heatwaves.
