Something to be aware of, when on the Gulf coast.

What does that mean? How far from the coast? Mobile, Panama City, Naples, Tampa? Biloxi, Galveston, Corpus Christi?

Or inland? Only part, or all of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida? I'm about 150 miles North of the Gulf. Should I worry?

The vaccine has destroyed immune systems. I know firsthand. The stage has been set for more national health crises. Guaranteed.

US doctors will just think it is pneumonia.

https://rarediseases.info.nih.gov/diseases/9546/melioidosis
Melioidosis is an infectious disease caused by the bacteria Burkholderia pseudomallei that are commonly found in the soil and water. Melioidosis is a rare disease in the United States, but it is common in tropical or subtropical areas of the world, including Southeast Asia, Africa, and Australia. The signs and symptoms of the disease can vary greatly and may mimic those of tuberculosis or common forms of pneumonia. Symptoms may include pain or swelling, fever, abscess, cough, high fever, headache, trouble breathing, and more. Although healthy people can also experience symptoms of the disease, people with certain conditions like diabetes, liver disease, kidney disease, lung disease, thalassemia, cancer, or certain autoimmune diseases may be more severely affected. Diagnosis is made by collecting blood, sputum, urine, or pus samples and growing the bacteria.

“inhaled during a severe storm with high winds”

Wow...I guess the wind kicks up contaminated soil?

This would be great if it slows down the freeloaders seeking an asylum to live in in the U.S.

"It is an environmental organism that lives naturally in the soil, and typically freshwater in certain areas around the world. Mostly in subtropical and tropical climates," said Julia Petras.

Melioidosis is now considered endemic to the U.S. Gulf Coast and infections may be seen from Texas to Florida, Petras said.

Imagine that.

I wonder how a tropical disease could have gotten in the US........

Thank you for the article and the warning to diabetics, those with chronic infections, and autoimmune disorders.

Petras said that doctors along the Gulf Coast need to be aware of the possibility of B. mallei infection.

A map would be nice... the 'gulf coast' from Texas to Florida is a rather large area.

Is this disease another third world 'gift' from that idiot Biden and his 'open borders' goons and thugs?
