I take it that vibrio is not the problem in Florida that it is here in
Texas. Watch your cuts and go to the emergency room immediately if you
see red streaks. Vibrio is a flesh-eating virus infection that can kill
in under 24 hours and enters in shallow salt water through small cuts.
We get a couple of deaths and several lost limbs every year here in
Texas. Though its probably a little late in the year for it here.

Happened after 12 hours of kayak fishing as we were at
the ramp to take out the yaks. I felt like a flogged English seaman.
OTOH, it sure as hell woke me up for the ride back to the hotel.
