DALL·E image text: A Massachusetts beach scene features a bold yellow warning sign. The red header reads “WARNING,” followed by black text stating: “RARE Vibrio vulnificus BACTERIA.” The sign stands prominently in the foreground, while behind it stretch sandy shores, rolling waves, grassy dunes, and a partly cloudy blue sky, creating a stark contrast.

Dr. Don and Professor Ben talk about the risks of going to the beach with a Vibrio vulnificus alert.

Dr. Don - not risky 👍🏼
