And not because of flying. I'm quite a frequent flyer, actually.
Anyway, over winter break, right after x-mas, I am flying out to florida with my family.
According to the news, there has been quite an outbreak of flesh eating bacteria. (or necrotizing fasciitis) {i advise you not to google it.}
I am flipping out, feeling as if I am on the verge of a panic attack here–there have been some pretty serious cases of this, even in people who went into the water with a minor scratch. It progresses quickly, most people might not even catch it until it is too late. I don't want to have my leg amputated...! The most recent case was about a month ago, near the area where I am headed.
Do you think it will have cleared up in two months? I don't want this to happen, neither do I want it to happen to any of my family, :weep:
btw, I didn't file this under health anxiety because it seemed a bit different than the usual posts in that thread.
