Florida Man Contracts Flesh-Eating Bacteria from Relative's Bite

A man in Florida developed a "flesh-eating" infection after a relative bit his leg during a family gathering. The infection caused his thigh to rapidly die, and he required immediate surgery to remove the infected flesh. The bacteria that caused the infection is unknown, but it's possible that it came from the biting relative's mouth. The man spent three weeks recovering in the hospital and required six months of additional care after discharge.
