Serious infection followed Bahamas vacation, but source of infection was not established
A traveler described becoming critically ill after returning from a Bahamas trip that included swimming with pigs and water slides. The report says he had an ankle scrape before those activities and was later treated for necrotizing fasciitis, requiring an extended recovery. It does not establish which activity, water exposure or organism caused the infection, or identify a responsible operator.
