NJ crabber may lose limbs.

Re: NJ crabber may lose limbs.

Don't know about anyone else, but I feel that there must be more to this story. Is he the only person that crabs in this area?
Are their other reported cases?
How reliable is the news source? I noticed that some other stories are of the same type: SEE ALSO: The tick bites that make people allergic to red meat and dairy may also increase heart disease risk
NOW WATCH: These are the foods a food-poisoning attorney refuses to eat.

News source is reliable. The tick bite is not BS, I have a family member who has that meat allergy. The symptoms are similar to a peanut allergy, and can be deadly.

Things are weird, when I was a kid, no one seemed to have peanut allergies.
