For those of you who are thinking about vacationing in Florida, heads up about the water.

Flesh eating bacteria cases are on the rise.

“Parts of Florida hit hardest by Hurricane Ian are seeing nearly double the normal number of infections from a flesh-eating bacteria that thrives in brackish floodwaters.

According to the Florida Department of Health, the state has seen 65 cases of Vibrio vulnificus infections and 11 deaths from the bacterium in 2022. Lee County, where Ian made landfall on Sept 28 as a category 4 storm, accounts for 45% of the cases.”

Do flesh eating bacteria only prefer humans? Why not eat crocodiles?

Even more gloom, now Florida has Dengue Fever outbreak. If these were Biblical times next would be a Plague of Locusts and rivers turning to blood. 2022 has been a great year for Gloom
