I was in Destin (near by) a little over a week ago. A young girl got flesh eating bacteria on her leg. Be certain, no open wounds. I don't feel as though it's isolated to the gulf coast...for instance Michigan lakes are experiencing this as well.
No, I had an open sore and so did my niece. We did make sure to treat are sores as soon as we got out of the water with alcohol and antibacterial ointment. We made sure we kept them clean to avoid infections since we were going to thr beach so I don't know if that makes a difference or not.
No
