A flesh-eating disease (called necrotizing infection by those fancy scientists) doesn't actually "eat" or kill cells. Instead, the bacteria or any other invader that causes the infection actually releases toxins that block the flow of oxygen and blood to cells, whilst even being toxic sometime to the cells themselves.
The combined effort actually causes the cells to die off by itself, not because the infection is doing it by itself. The continued process of the cells dying off leads to the cuts and wounds you see on victims of the infection.
