Bacteria ‘come carne’ en expansión en EEUU debido al calentamiento global: síntomas y cómo protegerte

The rise in global temperatures is affecting more than just the weather. It’s giving a boost to bacteria that can make you sick. Researchers have found that the Vibrio species of bacteria are increasingly prevalent in the coastal waters of the United States. These bacteria thrive in warmer waters and can cause skin infections, gastrointestinal illness, and even life-threatening illness.

Experts say that there are some things you can do to protect yourself from these bacteria. If you are spending time in coastal waters, avoid swallowing any water and try to keep open wounds covered. If you do get a cut or scratch, wash it immediately with soap and water.

It’s important to note that not all Vibrio bacteria are harmful. In fact, some strains of Vibrio are beneficial, helping to break down organic matter in the ocean ecosystem. However, with the rise in ocean temperatures, the dangerous Vibrio strains are becoming more prevalent.

This news is concerning because as temperatures continue to rise, we may see more bacteria “come carne” (as it’s known in Spanish) and become more widespread. This highlights the importance of tackling the issue of climate change in order to protect our health and the health of the planet.
