Eating Raw Oysters Kills 2 In Florida

Eating Raw Oysters Kills 2 In Florida. I love eationg Oysters on the half shell, don't you? Heads up people. Two Florida men have died from a bacterial infection after eating raw oysters that came from Louisiana. The bacterial infection is called Vibrio. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention says Vibrio doesn’t make an oyster look, smell, or taste any different. 80,000 people get Vibriosis in the United States each year, and about 100 people die from it.

One of the men died after eating raw oysters from the Rustic Inn in Fort Lauderdale. The day after he got sick, inspectors from the Florida Health Department examined the restaurants inventory and they passed with flying colors. The restaurants manager tells us “We passed with flying colors and we were allowed to continue to sell oysters, If there was a problem with the oyster bed we would know it because others would have gotten sick.” The Rustic Inn now has warning signs out, warning customers about the dangers of eating raw shellfish.

The man who died in Pensacola purchased his Oysters from a market. As previously stated the oysters he purchased were also from Louisiana. According to the Florida Department of Health, 26 people have become infected with Vibrio and 6 of them later died. They died after eating raw shellfish including oysters. Professor Robert Farr from the University of West Florida tells us that Infections linked to the Vibrio are common in raw seafood during the summer months.  Read more on this story here.

Why Do Most People In Tampa Bay Area Quit Their Job? Fair question, right? Or maybe you're "Quiet Quitting" and it's a real thing too. Quiet quitting is just doing as little as possible at work, without getting fired. You're seen the masses quitting their jobs (and maybe you're one of them) since the pandemic. Last week we couldn't get a table at one of our favorite restaurants. Not because of the crowd. They had empty tables, but not enough workers. Seems crazy. Look I've had my fair share of jobs through the years, working at about 20 different radio stations, and many times with a 2nd, and sometimes 3rd job through the years. With 3 kids, sometimes that's just what you gotta do. I just don't understand why or how people can quit their job in such big numbers. Where do they all go? Love to hear your thoughts on this one? According to a YouGov poll...

30% say they bailed on the gig because of a bad boss or just plain krappy management. That'll do it sometimes. Been there. Done that. Not always about the money.

23% of quitters say they jumped ship because their salary was just too low. Some went on to part time jobs even temporarily, or back to school to make the life balance and economy thing work a little better down the road.

21% got a better offer. When it comes to work, is there no better feeling than being wanted and valued with the backing of more cash? In some situations (I've seen this many times in radio, real estate, and more) people learn the true value of their work.

17% of the quitters in the survey admitted they were focused on advancement, growth, and building an actual career at their workplace. Imagine that? When employers forget about the "growth and advancement" stuff, people tend to jump ship more often. Uh. Duh.

13% of the quitters said it was time to throw in the old "work" towel, and retire. Wonder what that will be like? LOL. Hopefully they al have a few pennies saved up as clearly social security will never be repaired, or enough. Is our economy is to the point where people need to work closer and beyond age 70 or 75, so they can retire and relax for the last 3 to 5 years?
