Hidden danger in seawater: scientists warn of 'meat-eating' bacteria worrying the US

Una bacteria llamada Vibrio vulnificus, conocida como 'come carne', está causando infecciones mortales en Estados Unidos, especialmente en Louisiana y Florida. Al menos siete personas han muerto y más de veinte han sido hospitalizadas debido a esta bacteria, que se multiplica en aguas costeras cálidas. Los casos aumentan con el calentamiento global, y la bacteria se está moviendo hacia el norte a unos 48 km al año. La bacteria puede entrar en el cuerpo mediante el consumo de mariscos crudos o el contacto con heridas expuestas al agua. Los grupos de riesgo incluyen adultos mayores y personas con diabetes o enfermedades hepáticas. Las autoridades recomiendan medidas preventivas como lavar heridas, usar guantes al manipular alimentos y evitar consumir ostras crudas.
