Seaweed heading to Florida may have flesh-eating bacteria

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:08:37 GMT

The massive amounts of seaweed washing up on Florida’s shores lately are smelly, ugly and potentially deadly.In May, Florida Atlantic University researchers published a study finding flesh-eating bacteria living on a blob of microplastics and sargassum in the Atlantic Ocean that is double the width of the U.S.These bacteria can cause intestinal distress and can even result in a life-threatening condition that kills muscles, nerves and flesh and eventually causes sepsis and death. They can enter the body through open wounds or from the consumption of raw fish like oysters.This discovery is a reminder to avoid seaweed, avoid exposing open wounds to seawater and to be cautious of raw fish, said Dr. Jose Alexander, clinical microbiologist and director of microbiology, virology and immunology for AdventHealth Orlando.“Are you going to stop going to the ocean in the summer? Probably not. But if you have an open wound, try to avoid the water,” he said. “Maybe avoid [being] close to that se...
