Recently there have been a few cases of the flesh-eating bacteria in the bay by the ship channel. I coach in the lake, far away from the bay and even farther away from the channel. But thank you to all the mommies and daddies who have 'educated' there children on this fascinating bacteria. Now I get to deal with "I can't sail... I could die!" Do these parents not understand that every child has a scrape or cut somewhere and that they aren't going to die from it? Because now none of the kids are able to swim because they fear death by bacteria. I'm also faced with questions that I don't feel qualified to answer such as "If this cut on my ankle gets the flesh eating bacteria will I lose my whole foot or just a chunk out of my ankle?" Well Dr. Fontenot believes that the particular bacteria that will infect your cut will not only eat the flesh off your foot but also slowly and painfully eat away at your BRAIN!
Please parents, stop educating your children and leave that the professionals!
