Oh my god...this is unbelievably serious. Is the bacteria in the water, in the sand, or both? That's going to put a damper on snowbirds and tourists heading that way this coming winter. I hope to goodness parents are keeping their babies and toddlers off the sand and out of the water.
Pay attention to your open wounds but don’t forget more people die from car accidents by a long shot. There are millions of people in the area and we are talking about 5 deaths. Let’s not be too irrational.
Not surprising. The water temps have been over 90° daily for the last several months. The whole keys and gulf is a cesspool for breeding bacteria. One good Hurricane, and all that water goes all over those people… eww. Couldn’t pay me to live in FL.
Was at Lido Beach a week ago and the water was 🔥 HOT and disgusting. I stuck one toe in and said NOPE !! When the water is almost the same temp as the air, noway !!!
❌I wonder if the origin of this bacteria can be traced back to the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe⁉ Terrible that this is happening, but at least humans have the help of hospitals & antibiotics. The poor marine creatures have nothing but HOT water to live in 🪸 !!!
It's real life. But there is a news station focusing on positive things; I don't remember the name, Google it. No one forces you to watch the regular news.
