Vibrio illness is triggered by vibrio bacteria, which naturally exist in particular coastal areas and are more prevalent from May to October whenever water temperatures are higher. Most individuals get affected by this bacterium by consuming uncooked or undercooked seafood, especially oysters. A particular Vibrio species may induce a skin disease whenever an open incision is subjected to salty or brackish water. Furthermore, those with weakened immune systems, particularly chronic liver disease, are more susceptible to vibrio infection.
Most persons with a minor case of vibrio illness recuperate in 3 days with no long-term consequences. On the other hand, those with a vibrio vulnificus infection may become critically unwell and require urgent care or limb amputation. One in every five persons infected with this virus dies, frequently within a day or two after getting sick.
