If one man died from oysters, why not another?

A man from Florida had suffered mild symptoms from eating raw oysters. However it turned worse and it lead to his death. He ended up having trouble breathing and was seriously losing oxygen in his bloodstream.

The Collin County coroner had declared Rodney Jackson brain dead after eating raw oysters with the deadly bacteria necrotizing fasciitis. It was literally eating away his organs and skin. It was basically eating him alive.

The disease would soon enter his brain and that's how he died.

Jackson lived in North Texas before moving to Pensacola. He was the director of business engagement at the Studer Community Institute. 

Another man from South Florida died from the same oysters that the restaurants got from Louisiana.

Jackson was a well-respected man in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. He was a man who loved his passion of banking and continued to encourage Black and minority owned business owners to invest and bring success.

A motivator of Black business and innovation has passed away.

"Difference makers are hard to find, and people without agendas are even rarer to find," said Pastor James Hutchins, his former pastor of New Life Community Church in Frisco.

Jackson attended the church before moving to Florida.

Jackson a self-described "foodie" wanted to try raw oysters and thought it would be a taste of Florida.

"Rodney was about giving insight beyond spending. Losing the good ones always hurt more," Hutchins said of his former parishioner and friend.

The risk of eating raw seafood like oysters, clams and exotic fishes could pose deadly risks for disease, venom or food based allegories.

The CDC says the Vibrio bacteria doesn't make the oyster look, smell or taste any different. The agency added that 80,000 people get vibriosis in the U.S. and about 100 or more people die from it.
