re: Tampa man survived flesh eating bacteria

So the open wound from the bite was infiltrated by bacteria somehow but not from the bite itself.

unless we hear a story about the dude who bit him being a zombie or having that flesh eating bacteria in his body himself, theres no way the bite was the cause AND effect for this happening to this guy. It’s poor journalism, but it’s 2023 so it’s what we have.

The guy could have contracted this bacteria at any point between the bite wound and being stitched up, but not from the biters saliva.
