31 in Fla. infected by bacteria in salt water

Patty Konietzky thought the small purple lesion on her husband's ankle was a spider bite. But when the lesion quickly spread across his body like a constellation, she knew something wasn't right.

After a trip to the hospital and a day and a half later, Konietzky's 59-year-old husband was dead.

The diagnosis: Vibrio vulnificus (vih-BREE'-oh VUHL'-nihf-ih-kus), an infection caused by a bacteria found in warm salt water. It's a distant relative of the bacteria that causes cholera. So far this year, 31 people across Florida have been infected by the severe strain of Vibrio, and 10 have died.

I heard that in Haiti, they have an outbreak of Cholera, I wonder if it got into the waters and the currents have carried this to the gulf and other areas down south, perhaps the shores of South America?  Because as stated above, they say its a distant relative of the bacteria that causes Cholera!
