Over 1,500 people annually contract the flesh eating strep, narcotizing fasciitis in the United States alone. In August of 2002, there were three separate cases of fishermen in Massachusetts, who contracted fotobacterum damsela, a fast and more deadly form of the flesh-eating virus that lives in the water. No one knows how the viruses are contracted, nor how they can eat through your body in less than a day.
Did not know this

Very cool. I love learning nifty little factoids like that... especially when they pertain to things like this. The grodiness. It's all about the grodiness.

This about this information next time you see someone letting their kids ride the lil kiddie rides outside the local shopping plaza ;) AMAZING what different combinations of nastiness are found on those things.
