flesh-eating bacteria on beaches

One of many effects of global warming not talked about much is the increase of dangerous diseases carried both in the air and in seawater. Including, yes, flesh-eating bacteria.

"Vibrio bacteria naturally occur in some coastal waters and reach higher concentrations when water temperatures are warmer...can cause a human illness known as vibriosis. Vibrio vulnificus is the species that can cause flesh-eating infections..."

@JohnShirley2023 I think I can out swim them, so they're benign brain worms.

While I didn't mention flesh eating bacteria, this kind of thing, acceleration of pathogens, and their increase, in waters and the air due to climate change, is part of the general setting in my novel STORMLAND.
