The local evening news just reported that nine people across Florida have died from this disease. A person can also contact the disease by eating seafood, mostly raw seafood such as oysters.

Remember the above story of a 24 year old graduate student who contracted flesh-eating bacteria from a zipline accident? She plunged into a river.
