Travel writer describes large pigs, floating waste and welfare concerns After an Exuma half-day tour, the writer says the pig stop did not match the images that had drawn her there. She describes large animals approaching for food, visible waste in the water and concerns about some pigs’ skin condition. She chose not to put her face in the water. Those are observations and impressions from her visit, not veterinary diagnoses or water-test findings. The article also includes her own photographs and explains that weather had canceled the longer tour. Source: Chasing A. Sun, August 18, 2018.

Published medical case: severe leg infection after Bahamas swimming trip

The Bahamas; exact swim site not identified · Ajouté 2026-09-20

Traduction du rapport…

Published medical case: severe leg infection after Bahamas swimming trip A 2018 clinical case report describes a traveler who swam in resort pools and in the ocean with pigs after a recent skin biopsy. He developed severe cellulitis and a bloodstream infection caused by Shewanella, a marine bacterium. He recovered with antibiotics and did not require surgery. The case supports concern about seawater exposure through an open wound; it does not demonstrate that pigs transmitted the bacteria or identify a responsible excursion company.
