AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoVibrio vulnificus Alert: Louisiana health officials are warning beachgoers after a surge of deadly “flesh-eating” Vibrio vulnificus infections—9 cases confirmed in 2026, all hospitalized and 5 deaths, with every case linked to wounds exposed to seawater or brackish water; officials urge people to seek care fast if a wound becomes red, swollen, painful, warm, or discolored and to tell clinicians about water exposure. Public Health & Safety: The state’s guidance comes as Gulf Coast conditions warm up, when the bacteria is most likely to spread, and it highlights higher risk for people with underlying health conditions. Local Infrastructure: New Orleans’ Sewerage and Water Board says the cause of an Algiers water pressure drop that triggered a boil-water advisory still isn’t known due to limited data, leaving residents waiting for answers. Community Health Access: A Baton Rouge company is partnering with LDH to ship free at-home immune system test kits to Louisiana residents. Health System/Facilities: Demolition is set to begin this week on the long-vacant Lindy Boggs Medical Center in New Orleans, a Katrina-era blight project tied to stormwater planning.
