                                For individuals with iron overload, the risk of serious infection from the bacterium *Vibrio vulnificus* after eating raw seafood is significantly higher, with mortality rates exceeding 50% in vulnerable populations. This makes understanding dietary restrictions, particularly concerning raw seafood, a life-saving matter.
