Man gets flesh eating bacteria on Galveston's West End
So how many of you will stay away from wading if you have an open wound?
I personally always seem to have some kind of scratch or gash or something from being the clumsy @$$ I am...is it a big risk if your immune system isn't under duress (HIV positive or diabetic or something else)?
I recently heard of a young man getting the virus on his feet while wading at Surfside. No open wounds either. He developed a rash quickly after getting out of the water. By that evening he was feeling sick so they went to the ER. After some serious antibiotics and creams he seems to be doing better.
