You are so right, it is a horrible way to die. I lost my first wife to such a disease, but it didn't happen nearly this fast.

4 years ago this killed my best friend, he went from healthy to passed away in 72 hours. Watching him die was the most painfull thing I have ever seen. The bacteria ate him from the inside out.

Mercy! What a horrible loss! How did she contract it? I am sorry for this happening- did she have a surgery prior?

"Harnett County Health Director John Rouse Jr. said Bishop's was one of two confirmed cases of the bacteria that his office investigated in recent days after being notified by state health authorities. He said he believed the other woman, whom he also did not identify, knew Bishop. Uh-oh.

With such a proliferation of the bacteria as that, you would think cases of it would be more common... It must be that most folks are not succeptable to it if it is that prevalent.
To: Red Badger
Prayers to the family. Whats a pay phone?

I don't think they know. My son developed staph infection that had to be surgically removed from the crook of his arm...With this there
was no break in the skin anywhere that we could determine...it was in the soft tissue near the bone. Thank God it was not in the bone. He already had to spend ten days in the hospital with it in the tissue alone.
Now nearly two months later my daughter developed it in the in her gums. We think it started in the gum area where she had to have a root canal that went bad. It spread to the cuticle on her forefinger from nail biting. Now I asked the doctor if this is infectious staph. He said they did not know, but they are seeing a lot of these cases.
Tom Servo, praying that you are on the mend.
