Which of these conditions DOESN'T increase risk for Vibrio vulnificus wound infection?
having liver disease, cancer, diabetes, HIV, or thalassemia
taking anticoagulant medications
having had recent stomach surgery
receiving immune-suppressing therapy for the treatment of disease
taking medicine to decrease stomach acid levels
You are correct. CDC estimates 80,000 people become sick with vibriosis, and 100 people die from their infection, in the U.S. every year.

Anyone can get sick from vibriosis, but individuals are more likely to get an infection or severe complications if they:

- Have liver disease, cancer, diabetes, HIV, or thalassemia
- Receive immune-suppressing therapy for the treatment of disease
- Take medicine to decrease stomach acid levels
- Have had recent stomach surgery
