Millions in Hurricane Isaias's path have been warned that storm surges may carry Vibrio vulnificus, a flesh-eating bacterium, into flooded streets and homes. The Category 2 storm could make landfall as a Category 3 with surges up to seven feet. Doctors say the bacteria enters through cuts and wounds and can be fatal; past hurricanes caused dozens of infections and deaths.
