Man dies from seawater bacteria in Volusia Co

Central Florida health officials warn of seawater bacteria after man's death
Salt water was his life, according to the family of Henry "Butch" Konietzky, who died Monday night after he was exposed to bacteria in the Halifax River. "It's just horrifying, it's just totally horrifying," said Debbie Stack, Konietzky's sister-in-law.  Stack said it took just 28 hours for the bacteria to kill Konietzky.  "They tried multiple antibiotics, but nothing was touching it -- nothing even phased it," Stack said.
Konietzky, 59, was walking knee deep in the river on Saturday, setting crab traps.  The next day, he woke up and noticed what looked like a bug bite on his leg.  "They did not take it serious until it started festering and quickly, and then he started feeling ill," said Stack.  Konietzky was in the emergency room by Sunday night. On Monday, he was gone.
Doctors said Konietzky was exposed to Vibrio vulnificus, a bacteria that quickly spread through his body and shut down his kidneys and liver.  Experts said the bacteria lives in warm brackish or seawater.  Two cases of the same illness that killed Konietzky, have been reported in Volusia and Flagler counties in the last month.  Health officials are now urging people to avoid eating raw shellfish and going into the water with open wounds…..To ReadMore….
My Take - So, the greenies want us all to "return to nature, and become one with the biosphere".  If that style of living was so great then why did anyone ever abandon 'all natural' living.  So now, would someone like to explain to me why we want to return to nature?  Nature isn't loving, it isn't hateful, it has no emotions or feelings.  Nature is a biological machine and doesn't care about us in the least.  Furthermore, nature is trying to kill us and has done so forever.  Get over it.  
However, for those who really thinks that going 'back to nature' will create utopia, I encourage them to move to countries where they're already living that way; in poverty, misery, squallor, disease , suffering and early death.  So please feel free to walk your talk.
