Global warming could lead to spread of possibly fatal infections deriving from bacteria in warm coastal waters, new research shows.
The bacterial spread they evaluated, which peaks in the summer and thrives in warm climates, causes what is commonly called a “flesh-eating” illness because of the way the bacteria severely damages a person’s flesh, often resulting in the amputation of limbs among those who survive. The bacteria can infect cuts or insect bites during exposure to seawater.
Elizabeth Archer, a researcher with UEA’s School of Environmental Sciences,said she believes the study’s projections underline the need for increased individual and public health awareness in areas with high risk of infection. Archer pointed out that the research shows that the spread of Vibrio vulnificus infections and northwards bacterial expansion are closely linked to increasing temperatures that are the result of a warming planet.
