Flesh Eating Bacteria By Riley Schafer and Jameson Meyer

How you get it The bacteria can go through any open wound, insect bites, or abrasions. You can also get it after surgery or an injury. The bacteria starts working once it infects a connective tissue below the skin.

Symptoms ● Pain increases by the wound ● Pain that is worse than expected ● Warmth and redness around the wound ● There can be flu-like symptoms ● Dehydration ● 1 in 4 die from this infection

Different Cases 3 deaths, 13 hospitalizations in a Florida ocean Two kids got the infection in Sarasota County, Florida after swimming. One died. A dozen cases in Monroe County, Florida A man had his arm amputated in Gulfport, Mississippi.

Will you get it? Most likely not. If you are healthy, have a strong immune system, and practice good hygiene, the chances of you getting this disease are extremely low. Only 2 in a million people get this disease each year.
