In the Gulf of Mexico, carnivorous bacteria reappeared. At least two people bathed in its waters, suffered as they climbed into the water with open wounds, and one contracted by eating raw oysters.
Department of Health in Michigan (USA, Alabama) reported that all three suffered from the bacteria Vibrio Vulnificus, which lives in the salt water of the bay, and only in warm (from it they can become infected, they say, only in the summer). Once in the body human, for example, through the stomach (eating live mollusks) or through a wound on the skin, such bacteria begin to multiply intensely, in almost a few hours, killing his victim.
According to doctors, if a person after infection with Vibrio Vulnificus did not have time to go to the clinic during the day, he almost doomed to death, and in the case of infection through a wound, an unhealing ulcer is formed in it so quickly that a person can only be saved by amputating an arm or leg, if fortunately (relative, of course) the penetration of Vibrio Vulnificus occurred precisely through the limbs.
According to one Michigan OZ official, since the beginning of the year already There are 33 cases of carnivore infection. Therefore in Doctors currently recommend Americans and visitors to Michigan stay away from the waters of the gulf of mexico and by no means case do not eat live seafood.
Journalists, however, suspect (and not without reason) that the fault all these terrible cases came not quite safe vibrio Vulnificus, while artificially once created by American scientists Cynthia bacterium (Mycoplasma laboratorium). Synthesized in laboratories and released in due time (without serious study consequences) for the “devouring” of oil spilled in 2010 in Gulf of Mexico through the fault of British Petroleum, Cynthia soon switched to a more delicious living organics – animal world of the deep sea. Gets from her and the man. Therefore live (and already especially come here to rest) near the Gulf of Mexico unsafe today.
