A minor crab bite has left a 77-year-old Florida man fighting for his life after he was infected with the flesh-eating virus that claimed its ninth victim over the weekend.
George Clarke, of Yulee, was out crabbing Saturday night in Nassau County at the Georgia-Florida state line when a crustacean snapped at him, infecting the elderly man with Vibrio vulnificus.
So far, 27 cases of the flesh-eating infection have been confirmed in Florida this year, nine of them fatal.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
