🌊🦠 Plastic isn’t just pollution—it’s a pathogen highway.
New research shows Vibrio parahaemolyticus, a seafood-borne pathogen, thrives on ocean plastics year-round, spreading risks far and wide.
What if plastic pollution is also a public health crisis? 🤔

In the UK & Germany, exposure to holy water from Ethiopia has been linked to several cases of #cholera with a multidrug-resistant Vibrio cholerae strain
Travellers to cholera-endemic should:
💧 Drink bottled/boiled water
🚫 Not bring food/water back home
