and dying a few days later. I feel like I’ve never heard of someone surviving flesh eating bacteria.
Considering it took this guy 3 weeks to die and he put off going to the doctor until the last second I’d say plenty of people have survived.

How many people get the bacteria and their immune system defeats it before ever showing any real symptoms?

We'll never know.

Exactly. Many of us have had shrimp pricks and little cuts get infected and it goes away in a couple days.

This happened to a girl here recently. She was on a zipline and it snapped, causing her to fall into a creek and getting cut by a rock in the water. Got it stitched up and woke up a couple of days later with her entire leg turned purple and rotting. Almost died and ended up losing both hands, a foot, and one of her legs.

Well it's been 10 years now actually, seems like it wasn't that long ago.

The Fed Gov probably conjured up this bacteria in a lab and unleashed it on the public!
kidding/not kidding.
How long has there been people dying from flesh eating bacteria/amebas? Has it always been out there, but went largely unheard of before social media, or is this a something that magically appeared in the past 25 year?

However, Bova did not like going to the doctor and instead tried to heal himself, McIntyre said — but the infection only got worse.

Since people became a species.

Not if he already had kids. 98% of you don’t understand Darwin’s theory.

Irregardless, his offspring may not survive if he’s not there to feed and protect them and teach them how to avoid flesh-eating bacteria.

3 weeks minus two days of dealing with it. In todays google age, this is just idiocy

Disney bars its guest from swimming in any of their "lakes". Gators is not the reason.

He looked like a healthy fellow…

Once the pain became unbearable, Bova finally went to the hospital, but by then, it was too late. He died just two days later.

People who live on the MS coast know not to get in the water 24-48 hours after a rain. That kind of bacteria thrives in enclosed coastal waters.
Posted on 4/11/23 at 9:58 pm to SteelerBravesDawg
Yeah these water conditions happen every summer along the coast down here.
I’m assuming I’m immune to anything like this. I swam and played in a lot of nasty water growing up. Ditches, canals, bayous ponds in the woods. The worst was getting into a few nasty arse golf course ponds hunting for golf balls during the summers.
One year my buddy got some kind of leach thing on one of his nuts during a golf ball hunting trip.
