Vibrio's Impact on the U.S.
From 1996 to 2010 there has been a dramatic rise in Vibrio! This food born illness increased by 115%. In 2008 it was reported that there were 102 cases of this illness in California. In a close second it was Texas with 56. This is more than most 'major food-born illnesses'. This disease is common in oysters and shellfish. However, when times seem bleak, we have a solution for this growing issue. This solution is irradiation and it can also be solved by educating the general public.
