RE: Do you know about gangrene? Uncommon but deadly disease of today!!!

I initially thought that gangrene is caused by deep wounds. I was once watching a WWII movie where the protagonist was wounded that he heat up his dagger and then pressed it against his wound. A war veteran by my side told me it was to prevent gangrene. That was the first time I heard about it.

Never knew a more about gangrene before your article.

In place of invasive surgery, you could try maggot debridement. Larvae of specific types of flies are applied to the injury. They eliminate microorganisms and chew away at decaying tissue. As far as medical procedures go, this one is completely painless.

I remember this kind of scene on an episode of a CSI that I watched a long time ago. I thought it can only happen as an accident and not possible to replicate it.

Thanks for sharing.
