When Gangrene sets in on the body, the most common form of cure is amputation, as the longer the infected limb is attached, the more it will spread. There are drugs and medicine's that could slow the infection rate, but not completely.

What is cured bait?

Cured bait is live bait that have been been kept for 24 hours or more. Many times bait is injured when they are netted and the injured fish take a day before they die off. If you get non cured bait the fish you put on your hook may be injured and in the process of dying but hasn't had the time to die yet because they were just netted that morning. This leads to your bait being lifeless and slow in the water. Cured bait gives the injured fish time to die so you are sure you are getting only the healthy bait fish which are left.

How long does it take for gangrene to kill you?

Gangrene (decomposition and infection) does not occur until after a certain amount of cell death (necrosis) in living tissue. Aside from direct contamination with disease organisms (gas gangrene), gangrene seldom appears sooner than 48 to 72 hours after necrotic onset, depending on the temperature and tissue condition. Because the dead tissues spread infection to adjacent cells, removing them is the primary treatment, as well as applying antibiotics to limit bacterial growth.
