Respiratory distress and red patches

While vacationing in Lafayette, Louisiana, in the southern United States , Texane went to the Westwego market, on the banks of the Mississippi, with her husband and friends. She had bought several dozen oysters and had all eaten them at the next meal.

But after 36 hours, Jeannette LeBlanc began to show the signs of a violent allergic reaction: respiratory distress, red patches on her legs … Her state of health did not cease to deteriorate until it succumbs after 21 days. Doctors were quick to point out the culprit: the vibrio.

A bacterium responsible for cholera

This bacterium, which lives in an aquatic environment, causes, most often, only digestive symptoms. However, some types of vibrios can have far more serious consequences.

Thus, the best known species, vibrio cholerae, is the causative agent of cholera. And two other types, vibrio vulnificus and vibrio parahaemolyticus, can cause skin lesions and septicemia. These so- called “flesh-eating” bacteria release deadly toxins to living cells.

They usually enter the body through open wounds (cuts, scrapes) but sometimes they are also found in seafood and molluscs.
