Bacteria detected near luxury holiday spot
A flesh-eating bacteria, Vibrio vulnificus, has been detected in waters of Long Island's Hamptons and Sagaponack, areas known for their luxury and exclusivity. Experts warn the bacteria poses a risk mainly through open wounds rather than direct water contact, but serious infections are rare. Most visitors remain safe if they avoid contaminated runoff areas after rain and keep wounds covered, with health officials emphasizing the natural presence of the bacteria and the overall safety of Long Island beaches.
