For those fisherman along the Gulf of Mexico, you may want to take a look at the August Contraband Fly Casters Newsletter at http://www.geocities.com/contrabandflycasters/newslets.htm
which has an article about Vibrio vunificans
infections. Vibrio vulnificans is a saltwater
bacteria (always present in warm seawater, and not
related to pollution) which can enter the body
through cuts and scrapes and cause serious problems. This summer along the Texas and Louisiana coasts there
have been 6 cases, resulting in one death and
amputation of four limbs. this stuff can be deadly. a little knowledge might save your life.
