Cook Your Fish: Woman loses limbs after battling bacterial infection from tilapia - Infolurker - 09-17-2023
PSA: Always cook your fish. Tilapia is 99.9% farm raised, mostly in CHINA where they feed them human sewage (yeah, human shit, and chicken crap as their primary source of food.

Quote:The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently issued a warning about a bacterial infection that people can get by eating raw or undercooked fish or by exposing an open wound to coastal waters. A friend tells us this San Jose woman likely got this specific infection after eating undercooked tilapia.
A San Jose mother’s life is changed forever. Laura Barajas, 40, has had her limbs amputated while battling a bacterial infection.
“It’s just been really heavy on all of us. It’s terrible. This could’ve happened to any of us,” said Barajas’ friend Anna Messina.
Messina says back in late July Barajas had bought tilapia from a local market for dinner. She cooked it and ate it alone. Within days, she got very ill and was then hospitalized.
“She almost lost her life. She was on a respirator,” Messina said. “They put her into a medically induced coma. Her fingers were black, her feet were black her bottom lip was black. She had complete sepsis and her kidneys were failing.”
Now, a month and a half later, Barajas is without her arms and legs.
Messina believes the infection was caused by Vibrio vulnificus — a bacterial infection the CDC has been warning about.
“The ways you can get infected with this bacteria are one-you can eat something that’s contaminated with it the other way is by having a cut or tattoo exposed to water in which this bug lives,” said UCSF Infectious Disease Expert Dr. Natasha Spottiswoode.
Spottiswoode says the bacteria is especially concerning for people who are immunocompromised.
The CDC says about 150-200 cases of the infections are reported each year and about one in five people with the infection die — sometimes within one to two days of becoming ill.

I just did a quick glance at Vibrio vulnificus it lives in brackish waters along ocean shores and estuaries.
Quote:low-salt marine environments like estuaries favor a greater concentration of Vibrio within filter-feeding shellfish; V. vulnificus infections in the Eastern United States have increased eightfold from 1988–2018.

Limbs as in plural? As in this woman just lost all her limbs?
Oh God I'd rather be dead!!!!!
Why are people trying to save their lives regardless of cost?
I'm sorry but sometimes I think it's cool to die instead of becoming a living medical research specimen!!!!!
