       Health officials warn beachgoers of flesh-eating bacteria ahead
       of July 4; What you need to know
       Jul. 02, 2026
       According to the CDC, Vibrio naturally lives in coastal waters.
       Most fall ill to it after eating raw or undercooked shellfish —
       particularly oysters.
       New York health officials report researchers discovered the
       bacteria in multiple Long Island waterways.
       In Florida, there have been nine confirmed cases of Vibrio
       vulnificus — already surpassing the number reported this time
       last year.
       Mississippi health officials in Mississippi took to social media
       to educate residents after a man remains in critical condition,
       per the Sun Herald, with the flesh-eating bacteria after a
       fishing trip.
       The bacteria can cause an infection if a swimmer has an open
       wound, such as recent cuts and scrapes, surgery sites, and
       recent tattoos and piercings.
       What are Vibrio symptoms?
       Symptoms appear less than 24 hours after contact with the
       bacteria. Additionally, the bacteria is fatal for 1 in 5 people.
       Common signs include:
       Stomach cramps,
       Nausea,
       Vomiting,
       Watery diarrhea,
       Fever,
       Chills
