澳洲Killer bugs lurking in harbour

在澳大利亚钓鱼

ONE man lost two toes and another had part of a foot removed after they contracted a flesh-eating organism in waters near a popular Sydney boat ramp.

Fishing guide Des Toms said that he had nearly died from a staph infection after wading barefoot near the Roseville boat ramp on Middle Harbour.

He eventually lost two toes on his left foot after the bug entered his system through a tiny cut underneath a toe last year.

Health authorities said they had received several reports of serious staph infections contracted around Sydney Harbour in 2008. But NSW Health said it had no breakdown on how many become ill from water-borne bacteria.

Mr Toms suspects his infection was probably from decaying fish carcasses thrown into the water by recreational anglers using a fish-cleaning table near the ramp.

"I had been out fishing," said Mr Toms, 51. "The water was crystal clear at the ramp and I thought I'd walk about with bare feet."

The next day, he noticed a purple tinge to his foot, then a dull ache in his calf muscle. He took photographs of his leg to record his rapidly changing condition.

"I though it might be deep-vein thrombosis, so I showed someone," he said. "They pointed out my foot had turned purple around the sole as well."

He went to a GP, who diagnosed it as a common infection and prescribed antibiotics. But the infection rapidly crept up his leg.

"I was in the emergency department fighting for my life and leg as the flesh-eating Staphylococcus bug took hold," he said. "Miraculously, they saved my leg but I lost two toes. I'm now being fitted for new shoes and have been told to keep away from the water and fishing."

In hospital, Mr Toms heard of another man who had his leg amputated due to a staph infection caught at the Roseville ramp.

In March, Murray Player, 70, of North Curl Curl, died from septic shock after wading in bacteria-infested water in Manly lagoon. Manly Council has since erected warning signs there, but there is no sign at Roseville boat ramp.

A NSW Health spokesman said there were no statistics on Staphylococcus infections from bacteria in waterways. There were 1340 cases from all sources treated in NSW hospitals last year.

The NSW Environment Department's last annual report noted water in Sydney Harbour was gradually becoming cleaner.

Mr Toms said he suspected the low tidal flows around Middle Harbour allowed the infection to survive there without being flushed out. He now wanted to warn others of the potential risks.

"The average happy-go-lucky office worker walking around Roseville on the weekend with bare feet is at very high risk of catching something awful," he said. "Wear shoes."

可怕,趟水时穿双鞋也是必要的阿

什么东西这么吓人,好像都是harbor里面的,开放海域应该不会有这个问题吧

评论
还好我没船,这些事情都发生在船上下ramp的地方,很多人拖船都会站在水里,据说由于拖船的地方都有杀鱼工作台,那些鱼的内脏和尸体冲入水中,产生了这些吃肉的寄生虫,太可怕了。

评论
文章里提到出事的地方都是水流不畅的场地,即使看着清澈,还是很脏
有点污秽的东西也冲不走,积在那里了
还有收拾鱼的案板,脏死
类似的地方都不去了好

评论
真恶心!以后下水都不敢了。

评论
goodong 该去检查下身体了

评论
Roseville那的水不是一般的脏,去过一次就再也不想去了,还crystal clear呢
