Do you know that gangrene is the one of most infectious diseases of the muscles?


Because when one of your toes are affected by gangrene and you just don't go see a doctor it can affect your whole foot or maybe even your whole leg.

Added Information:It is not infectious to other people but it is infectious to your other leg.

Gangrene is NOT a disease. It's a condition caused either by inadequate blood circulation or by a bacteria called Clostridium perfringens. (then, it's "gas" gangrene")

The first isn't 'infectious" at all.

In the second, it's likely that if it started in the foot, then the person would die before the other foot was involved.

Yes, I am aware of this....it is also very common with people who suffer from diabetes.

I think anyone in the health field is aware of this, especially in nursing homes where older people tend to get bedsores and then gangrene sets in.
What one has to do is keep an eye open and, watch for it, then treat it as it appears.

I honestly hope that " medical people" are aware of this.
