Vibrio Vulnificus: Everything you need to know about the flesh-eating bacteria

[tacobell fan]

TAMPA, Fla. -- Recent cases of flesh-eating bacteria have left families with traumatizing experiences after spending time in the Florida waters. In just this year alone, several families have come forward after their loved ones contracted a flesh-eating bacteria.

Over the weekend, a 77-year-old Florida woman died just a week and a half after she scraped her leg in the water while visiting Coquina Beach .

A day after her cut, Lynn Fleming became ill and eventually went to a hospital. She was diagnosed with necrotizing fasciitis, the infection commonly known as the flesh-eating bacteria.

"You kind of heard once or twice, flesh eating disease, that kind of grabs you, but you would never think that happens to you," her son, Wade Fleming, told ABC Action News Monday.

Back in April, a man from Ohio got sick and developed a massive swelling on his left foot after going on a boating trip near Weedon Island.

"Initially, I thought maybe it was a sunburn," he told ABC Action News in April.

Barry Briggs, from Waynesville, Ohio, was later diagnosed with necrotizing fasciitis, just like Fleming. Briggs told ABC Action News that his surgeon believes it was vibrio vulnificus.
