Answer ( 1 )
Flesh-eating bacteria (necrotizing fasciitis) is a rare infection of the skin and tissues below it. It can be deadly if not treated quickly.
The bacteria that cause necrotizing fasciitis can enter the body through:
it can be found in soil
Surgical wounds
Puncture wounds or other injuries
Burns
Minor cuts
Insect bites
Abrasions
In some cases, it is unknown how the infection began. Once it takes hold, the infection rapidly destroys muscle, skin, and fat tissue.
