What Causes Necrotizing Fasciitis? 12 Causes To Consider

Injections

Injections convey medicines and nutrients to the body in the form of liquids. They are also used to administer vaccines and other beneficial vitamins to the body. Injecting fluids is one of the easiest and fastest ways to induce medicine or nutrients inside the body. In most cases, injections utilize needles to execute the dose. The standard rule is always to use a new, sanitized, clean needle since a contaminated needle may cause diseases like HIV, infections, and necrotizing fasciitis.

Some bacteria linger in the objects we use often. The worst part is that they may directly enter the body. For example, the needle may be contaminated with group A Streptococcus, a common cause of necrotizing fasciitis in injections. As it attaches itself to the needle, it may invade the body when it enters through the skin. The bacteria will affix to the soft tissues leading to the spread of necrotizing fasciitis. 

Always check the needles and the credibility of the clinic or hospital before receiving any shot or vaccine. This is an important safety measure to avoid developing necrotizing fasciitis.
