Quote:
Richard Johnson, 54, had been given painkillers for what doctors thought was arthritis.

But when it was realised that he had the infection necrotising fasciitis surgeons amputated his left leg in a bid to save him.

They then watched in horror as black areas spread to his abdomen while they were operating, an inquest heard.

Mr Johnson, a shop manager from Crediton, Devon, died just a week after he complained of a sore throat.

A coroner has urged family doctors to be given more information necrotising fasciitis as a result of the case.

The disease, which is becoming more common, is an infection which sweeps through the body, internally and externally, so quickly that it can actually be seen spreading.

Yeah, I remember hearing about the superbug like 6 years ago.

This guy had it on his hand and like part of his hand had skin torn off.

The picture is from an entirely different article; I've seen it somewhere else before.

I highly doubt this article, seems too much like scaremongering to me. Besides, necrotizing fasciitis is rather rare.

EDIT: From same article:

‘I have been a doctor for 12 years and a GP for five or six years and I have seen a lot of painful ankles and lots of cases of diarrhoea and vomiting but I had never seen a case of necrotising fasciitis.’

*whistles*

I've heard of this before. Unlucky victims, yes. I feel sorry for anyone who gets the cursed flesh eating disease.
