Tallahassee - During
the summer months, the Florida Department of Health sees an increase in reports
of infections due to Vibrio vulnificus. In an effort to educate the public on
the proper precautionary measures, the Florida Department of Health has
launched a new webpage to provide educational materials regarding this
bacterium, which can cause serious illness or death.
The webpage contains
background information on the disease, downloadable broadcast-quality video and
a "frequently asked questions" section. The department encourages
Florida residents and visitors to learn about Vibrio, what causes infection and
to take the proper precautions to stay safe this summer.
