Flesh eating Bacteria kills Fisherman!

I have a Dr that was put in the hospital for something very similar. He believes he caught it from snorkeling or scuba diving down in one of the islands. Very scary stuff. He didn't have any open flesh wounds....takes a guess where it entered...

Pebbles sorry to hear that it is a scary thing. Finchaser, any idea how that bacteria gets in the water from the diseased stripers? What I mean is what is the vehicle of transmission? It is sores on the bass, and then what happens, does it just float on the surface or somehow in the top of the water. That is real nasty makes you scared of wading if you have a cut on your leg.
