us live from anthony davis beach along the courtney campbell causeway to explain why it could pose a bigger risk for all of us. Heather. >> Yeah, good morning. Great guy. Good morning, james. I should say and good morning, greg to but that, of course, means that the risk of or bacterial infections could be higher in that area in our area. And I was speaking with greg dee even just this morning about our water temperatures. And he says, you know, our water temperatures very kind of like our air temperature does from spot to spot. But overall, the water temperature here is at its highest of the season around 94 in the gulf and where I am along the bay. 96, which is a few degrees warmer than usual. And while that may not seem like a big deal, those few degrees can really throw things off. I’ve been speaking with doctors here in the bay area. They say when the water temperature goes up, there’s more bacteria like because they replicate faster in warmer water and that can cause sepsis or gastro and enter itis. How do you get infected cuts or wounds? Most of the time it’s putting yourself while in the water on the cup article, a rocker shell. But experts say it’s also a good idea to cover up any wounds that you already have and not go in. If you’re going to significant. And if you have an underlying health condition. >> Elderly people my age. I’m not sure what health but older than me. >> We see. These people much more active than they used to so they’re out getting used to seize. This is a higher frequency. Which again puts florida sort of in the bull’s eye of what’s happening. >> Yeah. If you have a significantly open wound or if you’re immunocompromised may be a good idea to avoid the salt water until that that he’ll certainly cuts that do occur and salt water concerning. Sometimes we do see people who cut themselves on barnacles or other debris that’s in in the water. So, you know, be careful try to avoid that. If that does occur, washed out really well. And then just keep a good eye on >> Now I spoke with a man who actually created a bandage that a that lets you know, when water has gotten into the bandage and into your wound. I’ll tell you exactly what that bandages coming up this morning at 6.30, for now. We’re live along the bay, heather lee, abc action news. >> Thank you so much, heather.
