Since 2019 many thousands of case's from this flesh eating bacteria in the Oceans have infected quickly and not been treated promptly resulting in death and amputation. It may or not be in waters we swim in here in the Philippines but it is spreading due to the fact of shipping long hauls that fill their ballasts in one Country and empty them in another. It is growing so as not to change any swimming or Ocean enjoyments, just do know that after a swim if you experiences pain, redness, along with substantial swelling, relay the bacterial name to a Doctor. If treated with-in 48 hours antibiotics defeats it fully.
