- A person who has diabetes, who is obese, a person who drinks and smokes are more likely to get this.]]> 2019-04-25 01:52:46 UTC https://padlet.com/hawallace01/ClostridiumPerfringens/wish/353965751 How is it acquired? hawallace01 https://padlet.com/hawallace01/ClostridiumPerfringens/wish/353966113 - Lack of blood supply causes the tissue to decay. Without the right amount of blood supply your tissue will not survive.
- Infection is another cause of this. If bacteria is not cured in a certain amount of time it could cause infection.
- Trauma that involves the deep tissues could cause this. It is harder to save tissues that have been damaged deeply.]]> 2019-04-25 01:55:06 UTC https://padlet.com/hawallace01/ClostridiumPerfringens/wish/353966113 Treatment: hawallace01 https://padlet.com/hawallace01/ClostridiumPerfringens/wish/353966956 - Surgery is one of the most common ways to treat this. A doctor might not be able to save all of the tissue which could, in some cases, lead to amputation.
- A person could also be put on antibiotics to see if the infection will heal itself.
- The quicker this is caught to better chance there is to recovery. ]]> 2019-04-25 02:00:45 UTC https://padlet.com/hawallace01/ClostridiumPerfringens/wish/353966956 hawallace01 https://padlet.com/hawallace01/ClostridiumPerfringens/wish/353968066 2019-04-25 02:06:34 UTC https://padlet.com/hawallace01/ClostridiumPerfringens/wish/353968066 hawallace01 https://padlet.com/hawallace01/ClostridiumPerfringens/wish/353968073 2019-04-25 02:06:37 UTC https://padlet.com/hawallace01/ClostridiumPerfringens/wish/353968073 hawallace01 https://padlet.com/hawallace01/ClostridiumPerfringens/wish/353968311 2019-04-25 02:08:16 UTC https://padlet.com/hawallace01/ClostridiumPerfringens/wish/353968311 hawallace01 https://padlet.com/hawallace01/ClostridiumPerfringens/wish/353969129 2019-04-25 02:14:10 UTC https://padlet.com/hawallace01/ClostridiumPerfringens/wish/353969129 hawallace01 https://padlet.com/hawallace01/ClostridiumPerfringens/wish/353969992 2019-04-25 02:19:44 UTC https://padlet.com/hawallace01/ClostridiumPerfringens/wish/353969992
