I haven't heard anything about it in a while. Pretty sure you'll be ok

A surgeon recently got infected with it after his fishing hook pricked his palm. Almost lost his hand. Thank goodness he got medical attention in time.

It's in the water. You've probably been in contact with it a bunch of times but your immune system fought it off.

And it's not just saltwater either. Here at the Ross Barnett Reservoir, a 22 year old man almost lost the bottom half of his leg.

Honestly, it's just not worth it.

You can catch it by ingestion too, so eating raw seafood is a risk now.
