Threat of 'flesh-eating bacteria' spreads along Europe's beaches with climate change

As summer kicks off, many are flocking to the beach, but climate change has introduced a worrying threat: Vibrio, a flesh-eating bacterium. This pathogen has already forced the closure of several beaches in Spain and raised alarms across the Mediterranean. The rising sea temperatures due to global warming are creating an environment conducive to the spread of Vibrio, potentially affecting public health and tourism. This development underscores the broader implications of climate change on public safety and natural ecosystems.
