Description: So apparently there's a flesh-eating bacteria that thrives in warm saltwater and is living in our oceans, according to Florida health officials. The bacteria, known as vibrio vulnificus, has hospitalized 32 people and killed ten in Florida, although through a period of years, not all at once. Since 2013, there have been five cases of vibrio in Broward County, including two deaths. [Source: New Times Broward-Palm Beach]
