Recreational shellfish harvesters should be extra careful when collecting #oysters this weekend and next week to reduce their risk of illness. High temperatures are expected during the lowest tides of the year, creating conditions that can allow #Vibrio parahaemolyticus bacteria to grow quickly in oysters and increase the risk of illness from eating them raw or undercooked.

‘Only a matter of time’: Warming ocean water will make #FleshEatingBacteria that infected #CapeCod swimmer more common
By Sabrina Shankman Globe
August 15, 2025
"News that a Cape Cod swimmer contracted an infection from a bacteria that can cause a flesh-eating disease earlier this month has stunned many across #Massachusetts, but it was no surprise to David Hamer, an infectious disease expert at Boston University." 'It’s been sort of only a matter of time,' said Hamer, who helps lead work on #ClimateChange and emerging diseases at the university.
"The infection was caused by a #VibrioVulnificus — a bacteria that thrives in warm water and is more commonly found in areas like the Gulf Coast. Other bacteria in the Vibrio family, including those that cause cholera and acute gastroenteritis, similarly thrive in warm water.
"That’s where climate change comes in, making #NewEngland waters friendlier for the potentially deadly bacteria. 'With warmer water temperatures moving further north, it allows Vibrios to survive, during summer months in particular, at higher latitudes than it had previously,' said Hamer.
"And the water is warmer. Midsummer ocean temperatures were about 2.75 degrees warmer in the period from 2021 to 2025 than they were 20 years ago, according to data from an ocean temperature monitor in #WoodsHole, near where the swimmer contracted the virus."

Discovery of #SeaStarWastingDisease cause sheds light on #kelp forest collapse and recovery https://phys.org/news/2025-07-discovery-sea-star-disease-kelp.html
"This comes more than a decade after the start of the marine epidemic that has killed billions of #SeaStars... The 4-year investigation eventually pinpointed the microbial culprit: a strain of the bacterium #Vibrio pectenicida... The loss of #SunflowerSeaStars, which support #KelpForests by feeding on kelp-eating #SeaUrchins, has had widespread and lasting effects on ecosystems"

En su libro Bacterias por todas partes, Lucia Almagro nos cuenta que no todas las #bacterias son igual de nocivas.
Por ejemplo, mientras que se necesitan 100 millones de #Vibrio #cholerae para sufrir el #cólera, con tan solo 200 bacterias del género #Shigella nos pillamos una diarrea de aúpa.

Some "fun" warnings for #Florida tomorrow because of #Hurricane #Milton #HurricaneMilton by my authority as a rando on social media:
Avoid the water because #vibrio: people get horrible skin infections from #flood waters
Avoid the water because #alligators: they get uprooted and travel for miles cranky and lurking in bizarre spots
Avoid the water because of floating gobs of fire #ants: they cling together and look for dry land, don't let them think you're dry land
TLDR:
Avoid #floodwaters

R to @ECDC_EU: #Vibriosis is caused by different species of #Vibrio bacteria living in brackish waters.
It can cause foodborne infections (consumption of raw/undercooked shellfish) or severe bloodstream infections when entering through an open wound.

#Cholera #bacteria found to form an aggressive biofilm to kill immune cells https://phys.org/news/2023-06-cholera-bacteria-aggressive-biofilm-immune.html
#Biofilm formation on human immune cells is a multicellular predation strategy of #Vibrio cholerae: Lucia Vidakovic et al. https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(23)00527-5
This previously unknown type of community differs from already known bacterial #biofilms not only in its structure, but also in its function: instead of serving a protective purpose, this biofilm is an aggressive trait.

Humans have been using the oceans as a dumping ground for decades, so when flesh-eating bacteria attaches itself to microplastics and single-cell organisms mutate into urchin-killing forms, it doesn't surprise me. I honestly don't know how we're going to solve this kind of shit. Maybe "praying" to the aliens isn't such a bad idea. I remember an old bit of graffiti from the 1990s read, "Space Brothers [sic] help us. Save us from ourselves." Indeed! 👽
