The return of the flesh-eating bacteria is not the name of a bad sci-fi movie, but rather an accurate description of what is happening along the coast in Galveston, Texas.
According to News4 San Antonio, a health expert in Galveston is cautioning locals that the flesh-eating bacteria is back.
Over the last few years, numerous stories out of Texas have gone viral, all following a similar pattern; someone gets an innocuous cut or similarly penetrative injury, then they are exposed to saltwater, and then they later report suffering from a horrible flesh-eating bacteria.

This happens at a lot of beaches near large cities. You get storm sewer run off and fertilizer run off and you combine that with extremely high temperature water and the milder currents of the gulf and this is what you occasionally get.
I guess we could be like Jersey and have our beach covered in a flood of hypodermic needles?
Most Texans don’t go to the beach in Galveston anyways. They go further south to south padre island or Corpus Christi
