An elderly patient developed a severe Vibrio vulnificus infection within a day after a fish spine injury while handling seafood. Vibrio vulnificus, a salt-tolerant marine bacterium, is known as a "flesh-eating bacterium" and "merciless killer of the sea" due to its rapid progression and high fatality rate, especially in high-risk individuals like those with liver disease or weakened immune systems. Prevention includes wearing gloves when handling seafood, avoiding contact with contaminated seawater if skin is broken, and not eating raw seafood.
