Researchers have issued a warning regarding a dangerous flesh-eating bacteria detected in bodies of water spanning parts of New York. This bacteria has the potential to cause fatalities in infected individuals within a mere 48-hour timeframe.
Dr. Christopher Gobler, an ecologist affiliated with Stony Brook University’s School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, revealed that their team has identified “vibrio vulnificus hotspots” in several ponds throughout Long Island. He emphasized that those who contract the bacteria could face a 20% probability of succumbing to the infection within just two days.
