Fox News
Texas health officials said that a man in his 30s died over Labor Day weekend after consuming raw oysters at a local restaurant.
"He had problems with his liver. He also had some other problems, and he had to take some medication that suppressed his immune system," Dr. Keiser told FOX 26. "It just so happens that the conditions that he had really predisposed him to an overwhelming infection with Vibrio vulnificus."
