A small sting quickly turned into a terrifying medical emergency. A photo shows a hand badly swollen and blackened—signs of a fast-spreading infection. Doctors suspect it could be from a spider or insect bite, or a severe bacterial infection like necrotizing fasciitis, known as flesh-eating bacteria.
“If you ever notice swelling, intense pain, or discoloration like this after a bite or injury, seek emergency medical help IMMEDIATELY,” the article warns.
Such infections can spread rapidly and may require urgent surgery to remove damaged tissue. Delays in treatment could lead to permanent injury—or even death.
This post urges people to stay alert and act quickly. “A simple warning could save a life.”
