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.
Don't. You get gangrene and die.
Yes, gangrene can lead to tissue death in the affected area, which could potentially require amputation if the condition is left untreated and progresses severely. It is important to seek medical attention promptly if you suspect gangrene.
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.
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.
The timeframe for gangrene to develop after a cut can vary depending on factors such as the severity of the injury, the individual's health, and how quickly medical treatment is sought. In some cases, gangrene can set in within a few hours to a couple of days if the wound becomes infected and blood flow is restricted.
It can take as little as a few hours.
Dry gangrene doesn't
what does gangrene look like? is it a dangerous disease to get over? how likely is it to get gangrene???
I got the amiba but it did not kill me so I don't know.
The scientific name for gangrene is "necrosis." Gangrene occurs when there is death of body tissue due to lack of blood flow or infection.
Gangrene is often called 'gas gangrene' because it puts out a foul gas when an area is infected. Gangrene is an anaerobicbacterium, which means it grows in places hidden or away from air, let's say like deep down in a wound on your leg. If the infection is allowed to start growing, because circulation was cut off to the wound or wasn't cleaned properly, or treated with antibiotics to kill it, the tissue starts to die, cutting off the air to more tissue (which the bacteria likes) and putting toxins (poisons) out into the body systems. Once gangrene has set it and the leg has turned black, these poisons have to be removed by cutting off the leg, so that the infection won't poison the entire body and kill it.
