🗞 SHUCKS: TOXIC BACTERIA IN RAW OYSTERS

A Missouri man’s death has been linked to eating oysters, and it’s prompting a summer scare that might just knock the wind out of your sails.

WHAT HAPPENED?
The 54-year-old man died on Thursday after contracting a flesh-eating bacteria from eating raw oysters he bought at a St. Louis seafood stand. The bacteria is called Vibrio vulnificus, or vibriosis. It’s most often found in oysters, but illnesses from the bacteria have also been tied to crawfish, crab meat, and other shellfish like clams, mussels, and scallops.

WHERE DOES IT COME FROM?
Vibriosis is typically contracted by consuming raw or undercooked oysters or other shellfish. It can be carried by shellfish in warm, coastal waters. About 80% of infections occur usually between May and October, when the water is at its warmest.

SYMPTOMS & SEVERITY
Infections are rare but symptoms can be serious. Watch out for chills, fever, diarrhea, stomach pain, and vomiting. The bacteria is not contagious, and can’t be transferred from person to person, but it can infect open wounds exposed to contaminated water. Symptoms will usually start to surface 12 to 72 hours after consuming raw or undercooked seafood. In some rare cases, it could take up to a week for symptoms to appear.

Mild cases of vibriosis typically subside after about 3 days and have no lasting effects. Severe illness and death are rare, but if you have a weakened immune system, proceed with caution.

HOW CLIMATE CHANGE IS MAKING IT WORSE
The bacteria thrives best in warm, salty water, which is why we typically see a rise in cases in the summer months. But as climate change causes water temperatures to rise year-round, the amount of vibrio increases, too.

A study published in March found that climate change could cause vibriosis infections to double in the next 20 years, as warmer sea temps enable the flesh-eating bacteria to spread farther and farther north. Scientists predicted vibriosis could be present in every U.S. state on the East Coast by 2040.

🗓 ON THIS DAY: JUNE 13

• 1942: A four-man Nazi sabotage team arrived on Long Island, New York, 3 days before a second four-man team landed in Florida. All eight men were arrested after two members of the first group defected. But it led President Franklin D. Roosevelt to create the Office of Strategic Services — the predecessor to the CIA.

• 1966: “You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can, and will, be used against you in court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one, one will be appointed to you.” Sound familiar? On this day 57 years ago, the Miranda rights were established by the Supreme Court in Miranda vs. Arizona, which established the principal that all suspected criminals must be read their rights before being interrogated. It’s now standard police practice.

• 1967: Thurgood Marshall was nominated as justice to the Supreme Court by President Lyndon B. Johnson. He became the Court's first African American member.

• 1971: The New York Times began publishing the “Pentagon Papers”—a series of articles based on a secret government study of the U.S. role in Vietnam over a couple decades. They indicates that government officials deceived the Congress and the public regarding the Vietnam War. The papers added to the growing opposition to the Vietnam War.
