TL;DR Summary

A man died after eating raw oysters from a seafood stand in the St. Louis suburb of Manchester, health officials announced Friday. The culprit in Thursday's death is the Vibrio vulnificus bacteria, which doesn't make an oyster look, smell, or taste any different. Officials are urging the public to dispose of any oysters purchased recently from the business after the 54-year-old's death. The business, the Fruit Stand & Seafood, is cooperating with the investigation and there is no evidence that the business did anything to contaminate them.
