Flesh-eating Bacteria Kill Woman in Three Days

A North Carolinian nursing assistant was slain by flesh-eating strep bacteria in the span of three days. What’s peculiar is that someone she knew also contracted the same strain—and that the physicians are not certain whether one of the two passed it to the other. Ummm…it’s a rare infection, and two people, familiar with one another, contracted it. You think that just maybe one got it from the other?

Even more worrisome are the emergency measures they took trying to save her life: amputating her arm at the clavicle and removing all the muscle and tissue around her left breast, torso and thigh. Lord save me from such physick!
