Quote from article : "There are several species in the Vibrio genus that cause wound infections, and each year, more die from them in the United States than are killed by shark attacks worldwide. That conclusion is based on a study of 813 Vibrio victims 1997 through 2004. The scientists conducting the study, some of whom work for CDC, reported 77 deaths, or 9.6 victims per year in the United States. National Geographic reports that only about six people are killed worldwide by sharks." There has been some instances of this virus in Alaska. Wash every scratch as soon as possible. Don't become a statistic. http://www.storiesthatmatter.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=123&Itemid=1
