What's up with all this Flesh Eating Bacteria ?

There's such a thing as being too clean.
Me and my fishing and hunting buddy of 25 years have a saying....it's camp clean.
In other words it's rinsed off till ya cant see any stuck on food particles.
On occasion we might even use soap.
I've had a grand total of two colds and the flu,or it was possibly just a bad cold, in my 54 years of life.

So being a numpty works. Good for you.
 
When I was young, I remember swimming in all kinds of lakes, streams, creeks, ponds, oceans etc and never once worried about any "Flesh Eating" bacteria. I've been in some pretty disgusting water off the East Coast as a child. Stepped on oyters and got nasty cuts in water browner than root beer and sometimes with dead fish not far away. Never worried about open cuts when going in the water. Actually, I always thought the salt would clean them.

Now it seems you can't go in the water without some concern for it.

According to this story, 80,000 illnesses and 100 deaths are caused by this bacteria every year.

Do you ever remember worrying about this as a child (if you're over 40)? Was I just extremely lucky?

Or, is it just that news travels faster today and there are more people?

Or....are bacteria becoming more vicious and deadly?

It's worked for millions of Americans who drank hose water growing up and didnt slather themselves with antibacterial gel constantly.
You're a complete dumbass if you think not building up your resistance to germs by letting your body fight them doesnt lead to a stronger immune system.
That would be a scientific fact. But then you dumbfucks think there are more than two genders......

Hose water??? You aren't supposed to drink from the hose. Really? My Dog and I drank from the hose all the time. No one ever said it was bad.

1. This is actually scientific. Some thing the rash of autoimmune diseases is our bodies, from an early age, fighting themselves--we are born with active immune systems that, because our environments are so sterile now, have nothing to fight. So our immune system "turns on itself", basically.

2. We have a big problem with antibiotics becoming ineffective. Which is a whole nother topic
 
Disease, pestilence, etc.

Laugh if you will, but yeah..end times. And mankind brought it all on him/herself by being pigs and shitting in our own woods.
---------------------------- if you are serious , just let me say that taking a 'dump' in the woods causes no problems Gracie .
The woods are disappearing. There are no woods. Too many people are dumping everywhere. Land, sea, air. So yeah..I'm serious. But...your own mileage may vary. :spinner:
---------------------------------------- depends where you are I guess but I kinda agree . But 'zhitting' in the woods is no big deal n my opinion . Unless of course everyone does it . I see the big problem for the USA being Population growth being encouraged and actually happening with the sole purpose of making MORE Money Gracie . --------- USA Population in 1970 Census was About 210 million and in 2010 census population in USA was about 310 million and that's not counting illegal aliens . Anyway , its the USA that's disappearing in my opinion Gracie .
 
So you would agree it's getting worse with time and that we're going to see an increasing number of infections and deaths?

You do know that is just the opposite of the truth though, don't you?

So now you do a 180 and say we're NOT spewing garbage and pollution left and right ???
Which is it ?

Or...I'm not exactly sure what your point there is?[/QUOTE]

I'm saying that in the USA, every pollution marker there is has declined since the 1960's. The air is cleaner, the water cleaner, less chemicals in the soil, you name it.

The idea that we more polluted is one created by an irresponsible advocacy press that lacks a shred of integrity.

Ah, ok. Thanks for the clarification.

That it could bad came out later.
Supposedly bacteria and other nasties can live in the hoses warm wet environment.
 
Six beaches have closed down in Dane County, Wisconsin due to algae blooms, though those responsible for informing the media simply say "Cyanobacteria," and do not tell the people what the apparent toxic threat is about, nor even mention possible species causing it. The flesh-eating case in Maryland means that climate warming drives these blooms ( including Vibrio-Streptococcus) as well as fertilizer run-off from farms. Here, Bovines trump humans because bovine run-off cannot be controlled. The same thing is happening around Lake Erie. In Wyoming, bovine run-off was cultivating a very nasty strain of E. coli.

We will therefore, in spirit of Rachel Carson, make more public just what Cyanobacteria and toxin may be threatening swimming beaches, so that those who are playing esoteric, anal-retention games with information will know that it cannot last: the death of California sea lions a few weeks ago immediately reported the chemical toxin of the algae causing the deaths, which was domoic acid. Humans in Wisconsin are being kept in the dark like mushrooms.
 
We spew garbage and pollution left and right non-stop. What do you expect? And what he said^^^^^^^.

Neither have anything to do with flesh eating bacteria.
You’re part of the problem. Now you know.

Bullshit.
I live on the Gulf Coast and have fished these waters for over 40 years.
It's no different now than it was back then.
Of course it's getting more polluted over time.

There more than 2 genders, male, female and hermaphrodite. Now you know.

Nope.
We no longer have rivers catching fire and environmental regulations are more strictly enforced.
