Flesh-Eating Bacteria Is Real and This Is How It Works
Each year, we hear stories about new (and old) cases of flesh-eating bacteria, but what exactly is this invasive infection and how is it contracted? Let’s flesh it out.
SICK is a new series that looks at how diseases actually work inside our body. We'll be visiting medical centers and talking to top researchers and doctors to uncover the mysteries of viruses, bacteria, fungi and our own immune system. Come back every Tuesday for a new episode and let us know in the comments which diseases you think we should cover next.
