Used in a sentence: "Before the big move to Florida, when going to the beach meant going up a few 'hoods to a quiet spot in the sand on Lake Michigan, I only had to worry about the occasional e coli or used syringe in the water ... now I have to fight off the vibrio vulnificus."
And by the way ... you can thank me later for choosing the image of the little germy guys (and/or girls [or are bacteria gender-fluid{at least, the trendy bacteria}]) as opposed to photos of folks who are vibrio-vlunificus-sed,because this is the dreaded flesh-eating bacteria, and it hangs out in warm saltwater .. and it's already killed a few unfortunate beach-goers this beach season.
Visiting the landlord's pool or spending the afternoon at that resort by the beach is sounding better and better all the time!
