This was on Oprah on Thursday, regarding flesh eating bacteria, check it out:

A Flesh-Eating Bacteria Changes One Woman's Life - Oprah.com

I don't want to scare you; but I want everyone to take this very seriously. My nephew had this bacteria last summer and had to repeadetly have his knee drained and fought it for months. He was lucky, he was able to get rid of it.

Symptoms include warm and tender skin, sores, boils, draining puss, redness, swelling and high fever. "If left untreated, it can destroy muscle tissue and lead to life-threatening infections in bones and vital organs," Dr. Oz says
