Due to the preference of Vibrio vulnificus for warm saltwater or brackish water, some seafood products may carry this type of bacteria.
There are two ways of infection. Firstly, there are wounds on the body that allow carnivorous bacteria to take advantage of the situation; The second is that raw shellfish, especially oysters, are prone to infection.
According to relevant literature, the mortality rate of Vibrio vulnificus infection can reach over 50% within 48 hours. If effective treatment is not received within 72 hours, the mortality rate of infection will approach 100%. So, prevention and timely first aid are very important.
The terrifying thing about carnivorous bacteria is that they are too toxic, and people with poor resistance cannot resist them at all. Even when bitten by some small insects, carnivorous bacteria can enter the human body through these small wounds and devour life.
