re: Raw Oysters and Vibrio Vulnifus

Vibrio causes sepsis (blood infection) if ingested by right person (immunocompromised) or bad diarrhea in normal host. Same bug also causes a flesh eating phenomenon when it get in a skin wound. All-around a really nasty bug! And Tabasco dont do squat to it! I only eat raw ones after really cold spells now when the bacterial load in our lovely waters is lowest from human feces. Still a risk though especially for those with impaired liver function like those who drink two or more alcoholic beverages per day. Good luck,

If this bug was a serious problem, half the coon asses would be dead if the 2 drink a day applied. That said, I've got some incredible oysters on my duck lease which borders the GOM. I'll grab some for grill this time of year, but the popping them open and sucking them back with a beer like I do during duck season isn't going to happen.
