After digging through search results, this seemed the most closely applicable thread to post this in.
Georgia has recently suffered 3 cases of people getting some sort of flesh eating bacteria. One case has been pretty widely publicised
Aimee Copeland. From the news stories she had an accident while zip lining which resulted in stitches, afterwards she contracted some flesh eating virus and was very close to death.
The second, Robert Vaughn apparently got sick after weed eating and seems to have had the bacteria before he got to the hospital;

Coincidentally, I live in Georgia and noticed the week before Aimee Copeland's case that after a hard rain, there were a number of patches of a purple looking mold on grass in my yard. I found the mold in the yards of several of my friends in surrounding counties. I was curious if there could be any correlation?
Unfortunately I really didn't pay much attention to the mold other than noting it was purple and that it only grew along blades of grass (not on plants or trees). The mold has since gone and not returned.
