Katy man got in water with a cut on his leg.  They amputated but he still died.  Scary stuff. 

I worry about that stuff.  I do a lot of fishing in the summer, and it’s hard to go on a trip and not end up cut by something, whether it be a fish fin, or a hook, or any other number of things.  I got sliced up a couple of years ago pushing a stuck boat in lighthouse cove, and I didn’t relax for about 2 days.

Yep, use to fish quite a bit in my younger days.  Always getting little nicks   & pokes.

Stuff is crazy.  I haven’t been to the beach since all those people came in contact with that bacteria.  @AggiesAreWe , you’re a beach bum. How are you faring?

Been in Florida the last couple of weeks. Have not been to Bolivar since the red signs were posted. Going down there next week though.

This happens when there is a lot of rain. Fresh water drainage coupled with the warm waters in the Gulf causes the high bacteria count. Plus, some people are just not sanitary.

Those with certain underlying conditions are more at risk too. Bad liver, poor immune system, diabetic. If you don’t have those types of conditions and/or open sores or wounds, you’re probably ok.
 

I wade fish…used to do it in shorts. Now I always waders and cover up any bobos with antibiotic ointment and waterproof bandages. If I get any cuts on my hands, I usually wait for them to heal before I go again. It’s overly cautious, but I still got fish in the freezer usually.

Had a bad scrape on my shin from a bicycle wreck when I was a kid. The wound would not heal…..loose scab with infection. Dad took the family to the beach. Played in the water for hours like kids do. Came home, and in a couple days, that shin was healing the right way. I’m sure it was the salt water that did the trick. Not sure what would happen today. Stopped wade fishing ever since something under the water bumped me. Don’t know what it was, but it wasn’t small. Also, my BIL had a shark attack his specks he had on his stringer.

I can’t tell you how many times that has happened. Lol. Only once have I abandoned the stringer. Make sure it has a float, is down tide and is no less than 20-25 feet long and can be detached quickly. 

Oh, it got detached alright. I learned very quickly that there was a lot more in that shallow water than me, the bait fish, and game fish.

I’m sure there was bacteria in the water back then, maybe we just didn’t hear about it.

When we were young I remember everyone saying the salt water would help heal sores.  This flesh eating shat probably came from a Wuhan Lab, 😂😂😂

      Just to expound a little further, so you are not confused...I, along with so many others, are laughing at your desperation. You are working overtime, nay, double even triple time, trying to convince normal people Trump was bad for the country. His policies provided for peace all over the world, low gas prices, low food prices, energy independence, closed border, low inflation, record low unemployment, and on and on and on. You try to counter this narrative by saying unemployment skyrocketed on his watch. You said this knowing full well the unemployment rate went up due to Covid. Your narrative is just so laughable, to the point of side-splitting hilarity. Who would even attempt this asinine narrative? Now, even if you get past the utter stupidity of that MSNBC talking point, you provide another side-splitting hilarious tidbit of evidence to back your claim of Trump being bad for the country. You actually tried to tie the stock market going down to Trump...after Covid. You, I, and everybody else knows the stock market was flourishing under Trump...until Covid hit. This argument is just as bad as the other one. Again, who would even attempt this narrative? The only thing you could remotely muster that had any sliver of truthfulness, is that spending increased. Sure, Trump rebuilt the military and gave them a deserved raise. But he also had to shut down the government due to Democrats demanding an even more, and very detrimental, increase in spending. And in a true extremely exaggerated fashion, you proclaim that spending "skyrocketed". Again, who would even attempt this narrative? I think I can smell the desperation. Do you have any other whoppers to contribute?
