A new talking point of the day - flesh eating bacteria and micro organisms. Its an uncommon occurance but it does happen an its terrifying. A Texas woman crab hunting and fishing in louisiana found herself in distress after consuming raw oysters from the area. The oysters had contained a flesh eating virus that would cause the woman fatal agony for the next 21 days before she lost her battle to the bacteria.

What was thought to be a an allergic reaction turned out to be a serious bacterial infection that opened sores all over her body and slowly and painfully ingested her.

a very similar case of a flesh eating micro organism occured in melbounre last year, where the boy had been bitten thousands of times in knee deep water. He was taken to hospital and investigated the bizzar incident.
