Vibrio bacteria naturally live in certain coastal waters and are present in higher concentrations between May and October when water temperatures are warmer.
However, the bacteria can be present throughout the year in some areas. While Vibrio bacteria can enter the body through a break in the skin, it can also come from consuming contaminated seafood.• Avoid exposure of open wounds to salt and brackish waters.
If a person gets a cut while in the water, immediately wash the wound with soap and fresh water. If the wound shows any signs of infection or the cut is deep, seek medical attention immediately. The Alabama Department of Public Health has issued a flyer, “Prevention and Control Measures: Vibriosis ,” for students, parents, and patients to learn more about Vibrio. Here is the link:Of the more than 70 species of Vibrio that exist, about a dozen can cause human illness — known as vibriosis. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that annually in the United States, 80,000 individuals become sick with vibriosis, and 100 die from their infection.Copyright 2023 WALA.

In recent years, large investment firms have been buying mobile home parks across the country, often selling them for redevelopment or raising rent and displacing residents — many of them seniors and people with disabilities living on fixed incomes. Advocates say that offering residents the chance to buy their parks would help preserve a key affordable housing option, while opponents say such rules would place undue burdens on landlords.
