For the last few days we have been researching rare diseases and have created small presentations on a different disease for each group. We picked a disease that we thought would be kind of Sci-Fi and interesting, so we picked Necrotizing Fasciitis. Necrotizing Fasciitis is a disease that attacks tissues all over the body with bacterias like Strep group A, E. Coli, and others. This infection of bacteria releases toxins into your skin causing it to rot and decay. This disease is more commonly known as “The Flesh-Eating Disease”. Treatments usually include removing the tissue surrounding the affected areas and grafting good tissue onto it, or placing a prosthetic onto it. Take a look at our powerpoint below (Don’t mind the name)!
