Lady dies from flesh eating bacteria in the St. Johns River
Sad story.
http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/loc...home-headlines ================================================= Associated Press Posted August 19 2005, 3:52 PM EDT JACKSONVILLE -- A 45-year-old Jacksonville woman has died from flesh-eating bacteria that she contracted while riding a personal watercraft on the St. Johns River, officials said. Candace Scott died Aug. 3, Duval County health officials said. One to three cases of flesh-eating bacteria are typically reported in the county each year, but deaths are rare, said Tim Lawther, director of chronic disease and prevention for the county's health department. The bacteria that caused Scott's fatal infection typically enters the body through an open wound and absorbs into the bloodstream, Lawther said. Scott's brother, Bill, said she had cut her leg the day she was at the river. The bacteria, vibrio vulnificus, triggered an infection known as necrotizing fasciitis, which destroys muscles, fat, and skin tissue. The bacteria is similiar to one the public is warned about when eating raw or undercooked shellfish, health officials said. ================================================== ====== Give me freshwater boating and fishing any day! |

Luckily, I'm intelligent enough not to need a smart car. Your 'play' seemed much like that of Harry. I suppose you'll follow whom you will. -- John H. On the 'PocoLoco' out of Deale, MD |
