People swimming off the coastline of Florida are being attacked by vibrio vulnificus.  The flesh eating bacteria is even being found in the seafood caught in the area.

Florida state health administrators report that in the past 12 months 32 people have been attacked, two have died.

Administrators are blaming warm saltwater for spreading the bacteria, but two years ago I wrote how cases of flesh eating bacteria have spiked ever since the British Petroleum oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico (Did BP’s Gulf of Mexico oil spill create human eating bacteria?).
