Five Dead from Rare Bacterial Infection
Five people have died in Louisiana this year from infections caused by Vibrio vulnificus, a "flesh-eating bacteria" associated with seawater exposure. All nine reported cases involved individuals with underlying health conditions who had wounds exposed to seawater, with cases higher than the annual average of previous years. Health officials warn residents to take precautions, especially during warmer months and after storms, to prevent infection from open wounds or contaminated seafood.
