Skip,
It's my pleasure. With both Tawn and Charlie getting infections this year, it proves that none of us are immune to contracting infections from the bay. While rare, these are fast acting organisms (MRSA & Vibrio) that need immediate attention. Both Tawn and Charlie had to be surprised when they were seen at one hospital and quickly transported to another hospital because they needed specialized care.
I am by no means an expert on all three of these organisms, but if we can simply send the message that "time is of the essence" when treating, we will have accomplished a great deal.
Please come, see the photos of Tawn and Charlie, be aware and informed.
