hawaii IX

Events took a tragic turn when a Honolulu resident fell into the canal on March 31 and became infected with Vibrio vulnificus, a flesh-eating bacteria, native to marine water rather than sewage. Despite the efforts of his doctors he died a few days later. Two less serious infections were reported during this time. One was a lesion on a surfer from which several fecal bacteria were cultured. The other was on a beachcomber, who stated that he had not been in the water but merely walking on the sand. The responsible organism was not identified in this case.
