“Less than 48 hours after getting out of the water feeling great, the bacteria had destroyed him,” his daughter said.
Memphis Commercial AppealMEMPHIS, Tenn. – A Tennessee man died this week after becoming infected by a bacteria, vibrio vulnificus, during a trip to the Florida Panhandle, his daughter said.
"About 4:00 a.m. Saturday morning, 12 hours after we were in the water, he woke up with a fever, chills and some cramping. ... They got to the hospital in Memphis around 8 p.m.," Wiygul said in the post."They took him back immediately. As they were helping him get changed into his hospital gown they saw this terribly swollen black spot on his back that was not there before."
"He was gone by Sunday afternoon. Less than 48 hours after getting out of the water feeling great, the bacteria had destroyed him," Wiygul wrote. Per the CDC, vibrio vulnificus is common in coastal waters between May and October and can become a cause for concern after events such as hurricanes and tropical storms because of storm surge.
