    An older guy that goes to my church had this and it almost killed him, got a good part of one of his arms before they got a handle on it IIRC

      Vibrio is generally a nasty genus. It includes this, several other pathogens (like cholera), and it also is the likely source of tetrodotoxin, which is used by things like pufferfish and poisonous salamanders.
