Concerning your question on flesh eating bacteria or a strain of Group A C is a biological evolution of the skin or tissue cells. Since the skin is the biggest elimination organ for metabolic waste products when the astringency of the skin builds up the cells begin to transform into streptococcus bacteria.

This phenomenon is known as pleomorphism. The streptococcus isn’t what eats the skin but the metabolic acids together with exotoxin B, a waste product or acid from the streptococcus or cysteine protease which destroys flesh quicker than it can get replaced. To treat streptococcus with antibiotics is like putting kerosene on an already burning fire. Acid on top of acid accelerates the alteration of the skin or tissue cells which gives birth to more bacteria and in turn more exotoxins. In concept, the streptococcus isn’t the root of the tissue breakdown but the symptom or the results of the tissue breakdown. The reason behind this condition is the over-acidification of the tissue due to latent tissue acidosis or the built up of acids in the tissue that aren’t being correctly eliminated thru pissing.

Check the morning pH of the pee and you’ll find the pH is below six when it should be at least 6.8 and ideally 7.2. The best answer to the difficulty I perceive topically is to alkalize the skin with high pH compounds, ( 10.5 to 12.5 ) i.e, sodium bicarbonate, potassium hydroxide, magnesium carbonate and / or sodium chlorite.
