3. Introduction of Flesh-Eating Bacteria into the Body

The microorganisms generally enter in areas where the skin is broken, such as cuts, insect bites and puncture wounds. However, the infection can also begin at the site of a trauma where the skin is not broken.

An infection from Vibrio vulnificus can lead to internal flesh-eating bacteria disease. Generally, this occurs when someone with an immune-compromised system eats a contaminated oyster. It can also happen when the individual enters the ocean with an open wound.
