I have questions.

1. How does one catch this disease?
2. Can it be cured?

Meh. Diseases and 'health scares' don't bother me. Everyones making a big fuss about bird flu over here in England and all I can say is 'God's got it covered'. If a disease was bigger than God then we should have all started panicing centuries ago.

P.S. no I can't cure you :P

I like the way you phrase question one. Sounds almost like you want to catch it.
"So... Emm... Just out of interest, where could one find this... Disease?"

qoute:I like the way you phrase question one. Sounds almost like you want to catch it.

conditions for infection:

A person usually has to have a contusion, abrasion, cut, or opening in the skin in order to have the bacteria enter, however, spontaneous cases where no apparent injury can be found, are also reported.


They have to come into contact with the bacteria, either through direct contact with a carrier, or because the bacteria is present on the person.


It usually is an invasive strain or serotype, of the strep.



syptoms:

Trauma of some type (however slight) will probably have occurred (cut, bruise, scratch, surgery).


Victim begins to feel an annoying discomfort in the general region of the trauma (in the case of NNFF co-founder Donna, she felt the type of pain one feels after working out a little too hard in her upper arm, the day after getting a small cut on her finger).


The pain described gets worse, the area more tender. This is one of the major things to keep in mind. The pain one feels is out of proportion to the injury.


Flu-like symptoms occur, such as vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, general malaise, weakness, muscle pain, and fever.


Tissue is swollen and there may or may not be redness noted. The area will feel hot to the touch, and very painful.


Conditions continue to worsen.


Urination becomes less frequent (as the system dehydrates)


Blood pressure drops severely, and heartbeat is rapid.


A sunburn type rash may appear over the entire body, due to toxins released from the bacteria. This may or may not be present.


Large, dark boil-like blister(s) may or may not form in the affected area


Toxic shock can ensue as the body's organs shut down

Nasty stuff. No, I don't want to catch it. Lol. XD

Argh! My friend's mom had this once; this is one of the most awful diseases out there. IF you're lucky, you merely amputate most of your limbs, I think.

yes, we studied this disease in pathogenic micro. radical excision of all necrodic tissue is required. we learned staph can also cause it, like staphlococcus aureus.
