Necrotizing Fasciitis outbreak in Boulder

Yikes. Flesh-eating bacteria (or Streptococcus pyogenes a.k.a. Group A Strep) has stricken several individuals, resulting in some amputations. These infections can get pretty gruesome. If you want a good idea of what the infections look like, just do a Google image search on any of those words. Just not while eating.
