re: Update: OB poster, Boodreaux, has passed away from infection with Flesh-eating Disease

It’s not in the water you carry it on your skin when you get a cut or scrape burn scrub the hell out of it with soap and water & hibiclens

White cans tonight for an OB member who will be missed

You are likely thinking of Staph (MRSA) which can cause necrotizing fasciitis. However the waterborne causes are usually from Vibrio of a couple species. These tend to be far more aggressive than the staph type. I’ve had to cut a lot of skin off (debridement) a few people. Vibrio is way worse and NOT a normal skin flora organism like Staph.

RIP Boo and Godspeed. Prayers for his loved ones. Tough way to go out.

Damn. Rest in piece.

I posted something on here about my son and I fishing a few years ago and they sent me a swag bag from their radio show in Florida with an assortment of baits and a nice rod holder for my son's wall in his bedroom.

Nice guys over there.

RIP Boodreaux

Vibrio is bad stuff. Just now reading about vibrio wounds that’s a new one to me thanks

Sorry to hear, I can remember someone posting about their kid wanting to get into fishing and asking for pointers and he sent the kid a big package of lures and supplies, sounded like a great guy

Sad day. He was a quality individual that helped a lot of people when it came to fishing. Not sure if that was my daughter referenced above, but he did send my daughter a fishing package in the mail with some lures and a hat. She caught her first little sunfish on one of the lures. RIP.

This is sad. I never met him but when I posted on here that me and the wife were having twins 5 years ago, he sent me a couple boxes of free salt and freshwater baits. He seemed like a genuinely nice person.
