You get it on land too, it's everywhere, but the average person appears to be immune. Infection rates about 1 to 2 cases per 100,000 population annually.

They are getting better at saving people too - the first 24 hours are critical - if you get large doses of strong antibiotics early on your odds of survival intact are much improved. Do nothing in the first 48 hours you are probably finished. If you are old or already in poor health then even the antibiotics may make no difference.

They literally have signs on texas beaches that ask you not to enter the water because of bacteria. Some days are worse than others. You can even see the bacteria forecast online.

Sucks about the shark bite though. Hope he heals up

Texas has zero environment laws. It makes sense that there would be signs warning of things like bacteria pollution. What a shit hole.

It maybe in the water but the bacteria is pretty common on the teeth of sharks. It's a natural phenomenon. Kind of like the bacteria in the mouth of a komoto dragon.
