Easy Pink. Texas beaches aren't that bad. The real story is this type of bacteria can grow in the waters but it is not that often (but not rare either). According to the Houston Chronicle story this week (July 17), said Dr. Robert Atmar, a professor at Houston's Baylor College of Medicine who specializes in infectious disease.
"I wouldn't alter (swimming) activities based on this, if you're otherwise healthy," he said. "People who have chronic illnesses like diabetes or steroids or cancer or chronic liver disease, if they have open wounds or sores, shouldn't go wading in the Gulf during the summer." The gentleman in question, and we wish him well, had an ulcer on his leg that was not healed and came into contact with the bacteria.
Tourism brings in a whole bunch of revenue for Texas. Warnings about our waters is fine to allow people to be cautious. But please don't call Texas beaches ugly.
How are you to report the beautiful waters of Hawaii now that an Ohio tourist was bitten by a shark?
Be loyal to Texas and never refer your readers to go elsewhere based on incidences that are not that prevalent.
God Bless Texas.
