Too Much Of A Good Thing Is Deadly!

Oysters could be deadly if they're not property cooked or sanitized.

Vote for Charlie Crist for governor.

I endorse the former governor of Florida to take on the current governor of Florida, Karen "Culture Warrior" DeSantis.

Anyway, vote.

Ignore the noise.

A South Florida man loses his life eating something that many never thought could be deadly.

He became infected with a flesh-eating disease after eating raw oysters. It's normal for people to eat oysters but if they're not properly cleaned and sanitized, they could carry bacteria that could be deadly.

Roger "Rocky" Pinckney. Jr., 44 also had a troubled life with drugs but it did not fully contributed to his death.

The many ate a full meal at the Rustic Inn Crabhouse in Fort Lauderdale. Pinckney, from Davie, started having abdominal pains and was hospitalized shortly after. The doctors determined that the bacteria, necrotizing fasciitis, 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.

The cause of death was organ failure. However in the toxicology report, Pinckney had cannabis, cocaine, fentanyl, oxycodone and opiates in his body. He also tested positive for the Vibrio vulnificus, a bacteria found inside warm seawater.

The restaurant said that it passed Broward County's health inspections and never had anyone get sick after eating raw oysters.

Florida man dies eating raw oysters.

"Over the course of 60 years, we have served a couple billion oysters, and we never had anyone get sick like this guy did," Rustic Inn Crabhouse manager Gary Oreal told The South Florida Sun Sentinel, noting that Pinckney worked there previously.

"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 restaurant showed that the Florida Department of Health did inspect the facility and said it passed.

His grief-stricken daughter said that it doesn't feel real.

"It still doesn't feel completely real," said Jaelyn Pinckney. "I don't know how an oyster can cause all of this." She said her dad was "the life of every single party" and there was "never a single moment of just being bored around him."

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