10. Prevention of Flesh-Eating Bacteria Disease

Flesh-eating bacteria require an initial infection before they are able to thrive. Therefore, the best way to prevent the disease is to prevent primary infections from occurring. Cleaning cuts and abrasions, covering open wounds until they heal and going to the doctor for deep puncture wounds are measures that significantly reduce the chances for flesh-eating bacteria disease.

Fungal infections need to also be treated. Anyone with an open wound should refrain from using hot tubs or swimming in pools, lakes, rivers or the ocean. There are no vaccinations available to prevent necrotizing fasciitis.
