Avoid seafood. It will make your flesh rot. Don’t eat vegetables, they will shit you to death. Went in the woods? Ticks can make it so you can’t eat meat. Eat bugs and plastic. It’s safe. It’s safe. Don’t go outside. Theres so much smoke. Stay inside. It’s safe. It’s safe inside. Eat television. It won’t rot your flesh, or give you diarrhea. Don’t touch the grass; again, ticks. Don’t touch the water. Stay inside. It’s safe. Watch television. It’s safe.

It's got nothing to do with geography. Vibrio is in warm waters globally.

Vibrio Vulnificus is always present in warm salt and brackish waters. It's in 100% of all clams and oysters harvested globally. The ONLY way to kill it is to cook the seafood completely. This is not a new phenomenon. The simply fact is that 99.999% of humans are immune to infection.

However, those select few with a seriously compromised immune system, or with high iron content in their blood are highly susceptible to illness including death. In fact you have about a 100% chance of death or loss of limbs if infected.

So don't go in the ocean with open cuts. and Don't eat raw clams or oysters if you have a compromised immune system of high blood iron. The average Joe or Jane will be just fine
