“Flesh eating bacteria sounds like an urban legend. Let me assure you that it is not.”
Dave Bennett of Tennessee died this week after being infected with Vibrio vulnificus, a flesh-eating bacteria, during a trip to Florida.
Doctors explain what you should know about flesh-eating bacteria, the risks, and how to stay safe in the water. Wiygul said that she had heard of a similar case nearby where a 12-year-old girl contracted bacteria that turned into necrotizing fasciitis, but said that there should be more awareness of flesh-eating bacteria.
Wiygul said that her parents had a great time during their vacation and that her dad was “happy and talkative, seemed to feel fine as he did all week,” on Friday night. “About 4:00 a.m. Saturday morning, 12 hours after we were in the water, he woke up with a fever, chills and some cramping.”
