Louisiana reports 5 Vibrio vulnificus deaths in 2025, with 26 cases linked to warm coastal waters and raw oysters.
Louisiana has reported its fifth death from Vibrio vulnificus in 2025, with 26 cases recorded—far exceeding typical annual numbers.
The bacteria, found in warm coastal waters, can cause severe infections through open wounds or raw seafood, especially oysters.
Most patients had underlying health conditions, and the infection can lead to blood poisoning or death.
Health officials urge avoiding brackish or salt water with open wounds, using waterproof bandages if exposure occurs, and seeking immediate medical care for signs of infection.
Precautions are especially critical for those with weakened immune systems, liver disease, diabetes, or recent stomach surgery.
