Flesh-eating disease, medically known as necrotizing fasciitis, is often caused by a bacterial infection, primarily from group A Streptococcus, but can also involve other bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus. It typically begins when bacteria enter the body through a break in the skin, such as cuts, surgical wounds, or insect bites. The infection can spread rapidly, damaging tissue and leading to severe complications if not treated promptly. While the exact origins of individual cases can vary, the disease is often associated with certain risk factors, including Diabetes, immunosuppression, and recent surgery.
