9. How Do You Prevent This Condition?

The best ways to prevent an infection of flesh-eating bacteria are through proper wound care and avoidance of high-risk areas. For severe wounds, see a doctor for treatment and care instructions. For minor injuries, keep the area clean with soap and water, and keep open and draining wounds covered.

If you have an open wound or a weakened immune system, avoid areas where streptococci and vibrio bacteria thrive. Do not go in pools, hot tubs, oceans or lakes. Bodies of water are a risk.
