I believe it was Robin Williams who pointed out that when you enter the ocean, you are no longer at the top of the food chain.

Are more flesh-eating bacteria.  Are.  Not is.  Bacteria = plural.  Bacterium = singular.

As if I needed another reason not to expose myself to the accursed daystar by visiting a beach.

And there's anthrax in just about every meter of soil.

SHUT.  DOWN.  EVERYTHING.

Flesh eating bacteria?  Its an essentially an exfoliant.

I understand. The article about the 'massage boas' mentioned that they aren't poisonous. My eye twitched so badly that I stopped perceiving depth for about 10 minutes

Fun fact:  90% of the inhabitable space on Earth is not inhabitable by humans--in terms of volume, that is. We can live on about 18% or so of the Earth's surface (roughly half the land excluding deserts, bogs, mountains, ice caps, etc).

Mark Twain was right. Humans are as vain as oysters, but the oysters have the advantage on us when it comes to believing the Earth was created for their benefit above all other species.

Actually, many "non-venomous" snakes and other reptiles are venomous, but some of them, like North American garter snakes, have such weak bites they can harm humans except very rarely when they break the skin. Further evidence that life on Earth is not all about humans.

Another lovely side-effect of global warming:  the flesh-eating bacteria are moving up the coasts of America. Could be worse though. Few people are infected compared to the dangers of red tide and blue-green algae which are caused by the run-off of fertilizers into lakes, rivers and the estuaries around the world.

The number and the size of these toxic zones continues to grow. They were scarcely known about when I was born, but some now are measured by comparison to states and small countries, New Jersey and Wales being popular units of measure.
