Deadly Oysters? Flesh-Eating Bacteria Alert!

Two people died after eating raw oysters from Louisiana, and get this—they were over 700 miles apart! The culprit? A flesh-eating bacteria called Vibrio vulnificus, which thrives in warm coastal waters. Health officials say the bacteria is spreading as oceans heat up, and cases are on the rise. Moral of the story: maybe skip the raw oysters this summer, or at least check where they’re from! This is wild and a little scary, honestly. #Health #BodyHealth #Oysters

Oysters Gone Wrong: Flesh-Eating Bacteria?!

Raw oysters just turned deadly—two people died after eating contaminated oysters from the same Louisiana source, even though they were 700 miles apart! The culprit? Vibrio vulnificus, a flesh-eating bacteria that’s on the rise as ocean temps heat up. The CDC says cases are up 800% on the East Coast since the late '80s. Yikes! If you’re an oyster fan, maybe double-check where your shellfish is coming from… #Health #BodyHealth #oysters

Oysters Are Making a Comeback!

Chesapeake Bay oysters are having a major glow-up after years of decline! Thanks to conservation efforts and better conditions, these little filter-feeders are thriving again, cleaning up the water and supporting tons of other sea life. Maryland and Virginia are both seeing record harvests, which is huge for local jobs and the seafood biz. Wild to think oysters can filter two gallons of water an hour—nature’s own Brita! Fingers crossed this rebound keeps going strong for a cleaner, healthier bay. #Oysters #ChesapeakeBay #Conservation #Science

Oyster Recall Right Before Memorial Day?!

Just when you thought your Memorial Day seafood feast was safe, the FDA dropped a recall on oysters from Korea because of possible norovirus contamination. If you’re in AZ, CA, CO, GA, ID, KS, NV, TX, UT, or WA, check your freezer! These oysters might look and smell fine, but they could make you seriously sick. Toss them or call your distributor ASAP. Norovirus is no joke—think stomach bug from hell. Stay safe and double-check your shellfish! #FoodRecall #Oysters #Norovirus #Health

Oyster Recall Just Before Memorial Day?!

Just when you’re planning that epic Memorial Day seafood feast, the FDA drops a recall on oysters from Korea because of possible norovirus contamination. If you’re in AZ, CA, CO, GA, ID, KS, NV, TX, UT, or WA, double-check your oysters—restaurants and stores are being told to toss ‘em. Norovirus is no joke (think stomach bug from hell), and you can’t tell if the oysters are bad just by looking. Stay safe and maybe swap those oysters for shrimp this weekend! #FoodRecall #Oysters #MemorialDay #Health
