Girl pulled into harbor by sea lion treated for rare seal finger disease

A video that has gone viral showed a sea lion grabbing the young girl's dress and pulling her into the water. But marine life experts warned they could be at risk of getting a rare infection sometimes called seal finger. Before antibiotics, many seal hunters risked losing fingers or hands to the disease. Seal finger infections are caused by different kinds of Mycoplasma bacteria, which live in the mouths of sea mammals like seals and sea lions, according to a 2009 published case report. Other types of antibiotics, including tetracycline, can be used to treat the infection if it is diagnosed properly.
