Court House - Why are Cumberland County officials telling people not to eat raw clams, oysters or any under-cooked seafood, yet Cape May County is not? According to Cumberland County, there is flesh-eating bacteria in the back bays. Tourism is nice and all, but the health and safety of the people should be more important, don't you think?

Moderator's Note: 
An NJ.com headline June 19 states, "Flesh-eating bacteria is spreading to South Jersey waters. Blame climate change, study says."
