The medical terminology is Necrotizing Fasciitis (NF).

I got a call from a friend asking legal help for another friend. During the call, he turned to speak with a nurse a couple times, so of course, I asked him why he was speaking with a nurse.

In October, he had a scratch and within 18 hours, he was in the hospital and had 3 surgeries for flesh eating bacteria. He had to go into a rehab center because the bandages needed changing. He's still in rehab.

I asked him how he got it, and his doctor said it was from constant use of antibacterial or antimicrobial soaps. The bacteria that causes this NF mutated.

I asked if this was on his neck or arm or leg. He said it was "in my butt." Since he couldn't turn around to look, his doctor took a picture of it with the doctor's hand next to the wound. My friend said the wound was bigger than the doctor's hand.

So, please throw out all those antibacterial soaps. Go natural, the most natural of which is Aleppo soap (also known as ghar soap or laurel soap).

Here are some pictures I found of NF at work.

If the doctor said that this individual patient contacted NF because he used too much antibacterial soap, he should have his license revoked. What was probably said, was the increasing use of antibacterials was causing bacteria to evolve resistant strains.

I was terrified that the OP was going to say a history of necfas was a disqualifying condition, as I experienced that earlier this year. Moral of the story is that staph is everywhere, so clean even the smallest cuts.
