What's in the water? Flesh-eating bacteria. |
Seriously. After parts of Florida were inundated with heavy rain and flooding due to back-to-back hurricanes, the state has seen a surge of Vibrio vulnificus, or flesh-eating bacteria. |
By the numbers: There have been 76 cases statewide of Vibrio vulnificus in 2024 – 13 of them fatal, according to the latest data from the Florida Department of Health. That's compared with 74 cases in 2022 when Hurricane Ian and other devastating storms hit the state. |
What is it? Vibrio vulnificus is a naturally occurring but potentially fatal bacterial infection that thrives in warm floodwaters. 🦠 Everything to know. | | | | Golan and her partner Adi were among the thousands who were able to flee the Nova music festival as the massacre unfolded on Oct. 7. | | | | The CDC announced Tuesday that multiple agencies are investigating an E. coli outbreak linked to McDonald's Quarter Pounders. | | | | An important United Nations meeting on biodiversity this week could hold a key to protecting nature's richness across the globe. | | | | "We are aware of nothing like this in modern political history," the former officials say in asking federal and state prosecutors to investigate. | | | | While the Chiefs and Ravens held firm atop the NFL power rankings, the NFC picture featured significant movement heading into Week 8. | | | | Paul Whelan said in an interview on CBS that other prisoners serving in Ukraine passed him information on burner phones. | | | | Kristin Cavallari spoke out on her podcast after her ex-husband, Jay Cutler, was arrested for DUI and gun possession in Tennessee. | | | | Jayland Walker was shot 46 times by police after he fled law enforcement and fired a bullet out of his car window in 2022. | | | | Alex Van Halen's book, "Brothers," is a love letter to his guitar hero sibling, Ed.
