3. It Moves Really Fast Throughout the Body
This is an important fact to understand. The disease can move through the body in a matter of days. It starts also innocuously that you may not even realize that you have necrotizing fasciitis – or flesh-eating disease – until it is far too late. That’s why it is so important that you understand what the symptoms are, how quickly each set of symptoms lasts and how long the entire disease less.
Within the first 24 hours, there is usually a great deal of pain from the cutter abrasion – more than you would expect, as well as redness, warmth, flulike symptoms, intense thirst and more. After 24 to 36 hours, symptoms may move on to blisters, discoloration, foul-smelling liquid, purplish rashes and other marks on the body. The disease can run its course and just for five days and end up with a severe drop in blood pressure, the body going in the toxic shock, unconsciousness and eventually death.
