Messina said Barajas became sick after eating fish she bought at a local market in San Jose and prepared herself at home. “She almost lost her life. She has to use a ventilator,” Ms. Messina said.

“They put her in a medically induced coma. Her fingers are black, its paws are black, and its lower lip is black. She had complete sepsis and her kidneys were failing,” she added.

Ms. Messina said Barajas was infected with Vibrio vulnificus, a potentially deadly bacteria commonly found in fresh seafood and seawater. This highlights the critical importance of proper preparation and handling of seafood to avoid such serious health risks.
