HOUSTON - A man has died from flesh-eating bacteria that entered his body through a minor cut on his leg.
Dr. Kenneth Dean Creamer, 52, died late Thursday in a Victoria hospital where he had been treated since July 17, two days after he was exposed to the saltwater bacteria vibrio vulnificus.
Creamer, a Houston dentist, apparently hurt himself July 15 when he slipped on a dock during a fishing trip. Within days, both Creamer's legs had to be amputated and he went into a coma, a hospital spokeswoman told the Houston Chronicle for its Saturday editions.
Creamer is the seventh vibrio-related death in Texas this year, according to the Texas Department of Health. The federal Centers for Disease Control said a typical year brings 16 vibrio-related deaths in the Gulf Coast states.
Health experts said the bacteria is common in the Gulf and most prevalent in coastal and bay waters in warmer months. The bacteria can be ingested in contaminated seafood or absorbed through skin wounds.

Just to give a brief update on Pete's condition. He made it thru some tough stretches and is out of the coma now. I think they moved him to another room. He will need lots of therapy unfortunately, but the good news is he is alive for now so the docs must have stopped the virus. Thank God!
My friend will be hauling his boat out shortly, one less thing to worry about.
If I hear more, I'll let you know.

 Before ya run out and buy all sorts of creams to smear on ya you should only need "BLEECH & water & soap or just plain Bleech & water mix!!!! It's the number one bacterial fighter and cost only pennies to use!!!! Mix about a cup to 5gals. of water!!!!
I keep a bucket of clean water & bleech on every trip mainly to just clean my hands evry once in a while after handling bait!!!!   |
