This is scary!
Thanks China. Keep polluting our oceans with your freight and stingy fishing ships!!
Death and illness is all around us
Can you say " CABIN FEVER" 🫣
Gross.
Human Fecal Matter
This timeline just keeps winning!
Your generosity towards my health issues is
incomparable,you assured me of getting healed
and here I am strong and healthy. Thank you Dr Ofenmu on YouTube. I will let the world know about your kind gesture..
Sewage, animal waste, and everything else is dumped in all the waters and people swim and eat the fish and oysters.
There was just that case of a woman getting her leg amputated from bacterial infection in The Bahamas, too. Weird stuff going on in the oceans lately with bacteria it seems… =/
Very sad. Back when I was a kid in the 50's and 60's, I lived near a lake that had a popular swimming area. It was common practice not to go in the water if your skin had a cut or wound of any kind. I had to temporarily stop my swimming lessons because I had a cut on my leg. Since I had that knowledge growing up, I guess I assumed it was a known thing everywhere, like "don't touch the oven burner." I'm surprised this isn't a universal concept.
And where was he from?
Stay away from stagnant water, dark water, especially if you have an open wound…
Too many people pooping in one place. Invite some more.
Have you seen NY? Nasty state in general
This is why I never ever go into lakes or rivers, years ago, in California, my 2 friends jumped into a Lake, I knew better not to join them, gut instinct, when they emerged from the Lake, they BOTH projectile vomited, immediately. I laughed at them and said, I told you not to go into that Lake! Many creepy creatures lurking about in there, I guess I watched too many Jeremy Wade’s show “ River Monsters!
You get it also from illegal lunch truck and street vendors….
Welcome to the new world.
Maybe that’s why whales are washing up dead..our oceans are full of these harmful bacteria
Please please shut down the country!! This is scary
Stay safe wear a mask
drink water from the Hudson
what could go wrong?
Ya gotta love a good ole fashion flesh eating bacteria
Trumpvivicis😁
Delightful.
Here they go another outbreak soon to come please lord come and save us the media is evil this is crazy
It’s amazing how advanced we are in every area, but we don’t know much about our own bodies.
Poor sickly man. That thing sounds like a Roman soldier and just as fierce.
I've had plenty of warnings. I just swim in pools now.
Migrants probably brought it with them
This killed a man down here on the OBX recently. sloppy reporting, that is easy to find out. In fact three in NC died in July from it.
Scary
Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving victim. A liberal New Yorker
United States of America 🇺🇸 should declare Islam as an official religion of USA.
There will be plagues of diseases and viruses.
No Felicia! A bug bite is not enough!
This is why you shouldn't swim on open waters and eat raw food.
zombie apocalypse incoming!
🙁
