Flesh eating desease

[sdexcalibur]

Anyone here about this flesh eating thing. Starts out as an infection after getting poked by a fish bone, but left to fester it turned into flesh eating. Some scary stuff. One person died, but not before they cut off this hand, arm, and half his back. Seems like it spread too quick and had gotten into his organs.

The other guy was a fisherman. He was stuck with a bone. Then after some time experiance extreme pain. He went to the hospitial. They tried to treat it with medicial, but after the man said he was having chest pain. The doctors sliced his arm from elbow to thumb. To try to stop it. The doctors said they could actually see the desease moving up him arm. They kept the arm open for 2 days just to make sure they got everything. This guy made it and to think all because of a flounder fish bone. Not sure how the first guy got it. Does this make you weary about fishing or diving.

While "flesh eating" strep infections do exist, and are nasty, this one's rare.
