Gangrene (decomposition and infection) does not occur until after a certain amount of cell death (necrosis) in living tissue. Aside from direct contamination with disease organisms (gas gangrene), gangrene seldom appears sooner than 48 to 72 hours after necrotic onset, depending on the temperature and tissue condition. Because the dead tissues spread infection to adjacent cells, removing them is the primary treatment, as well as applying antibiotics to limit bacterial growth.
Once a person is officially diagnosed with gangrene, they typically die within one month of the diagnosis. However, medicine has advanced over the years and gangrene can typically be cured now a day.
Depending on the severity of the gangrene, it can either be lethal in as little as a week or as long as many years. Gangrene is treatable, so it doesn't often kill people who seek help.
Without treatment only a few days.....then death.
It can be very fast.
very very painful
how long does it take
The time it takes for gangrene to result in death can vary depending on the type and severity of the infection, as well as the individual's overall health. In some cases, gangrene can lead to death within a few days if left untreated, while in other cases, it may take weeks or even longer. It is crucial to seek immediate medical attention if you suspect you have gangrene.
Don't. You get gangrene and die.
Many people can only live with gangrene no longer than two months. This is because the infection eats away at your body. However, gangrene is no longer a common health ailment.
It really depends on how long it will take to kill each one.
How long it takes to die from gangrene depends on the specific circumstances of the infection, how big you are, and how far away from your vital organs the gangrene is. Typically gangrene spreads very rapidly once it starts, and an infected person may die in anywhere from one to three days once the gangrene is established.
Dry gangrene doesn't

The scientific name for gangrene is "necrosis." Gangrene occurs when there is death of body tissue due to lack of blood flow or infection.
