Salt water was his life, according to the family of Henry
"Butch" Konietzky, who died Monday night after he was exposed to
bacteria in the Halifax River. "It's just horrifying, it's just totally
horrifying," said Debbie Stack, Konietzky's sister-in-law. Stack said it took just 28 hours for the
bacteria to kill Konietzky. "They
tried multiple antibiotics, but nothing was touching it -- nothing even phased
it," Stack said.
Konietzky, 59, was walking knee deep in the river on
Saturday, setting crab traps. The next
day, he woke up and noticed what looked like a bug bite on his leg. "They did not take it serious until it
started festering and quickly, and then he started feeling ill," said
Stack. Konietzky was in the emergency
room by Sunday night. On Monday, he was gone.
Doctors said Konietzky was exposed to Vibrio vulnificus, a bacteria that quickly spread through his
body and shut down his kidneys and liver.
Experts said the bacteria lives in warm brackish or seawater. Two cases of the same illness that killed
Konietzky, have been reported in Volusia and Flagler counties in the last month. Health officials are now urging people to
avoid eating raw shellfish and going into the water with open wounds…..To ReadMore….
My Take - So, the greenies want us all to "return to nature, and become one with the biosphere". If that style of living was so great then why did anyone ever abandon 'all natural' living. So now, would someone like to explain to me why we want to return to nature? Nature isn't loving, it isn't hateful, it has no emotions or feelings. Nature is a biological machine and doesn't care about us in the least. Furthermore, nature is trying to kill us and has done so forever. Get over it.
However, for those who really thinks that going 'back to nature' will create utopia, I encourage them to move to countries where they're already living that way; in poverty, misery, squallor, disease , suffering and early death. So please feel free to walk your talk.
