Vibrio Vulnificus
This bacteria thrives in salt water.
The food sources involved with the contaminants are oysters, clams, lobsters , fish, most sea food.
The implicated illness with this bacteria is acute diarrhea, and wound infection.
The incubation period for this bacteria is between one and seven days.
Symptoms of this bacteria include Gastrointestinal illness, Fever, and Shock.
Eventually after getting the bacteria the host will either be cured from the bacteria or will die of the infection.
Ways to prevent from getting this bacteria is avoiding oysters, and avoiding getting cut in warm coastal waters.
When the oysters are harvested and and cleaned, any bacteria that survived processing will be shipped to stores, and people will buy and eat the oysters, and they will get infected.
Thanks, Will, for this. I love your sentence "Eventually after getting the bacteria the host will either be cured from the bacteria or will die of the infection." !
