Number 5: Gangrene Gangrene is a life threatening condition caused by either insufficient blood supply or by an infection of the skin. This lack of blood supply results in the death of tissue cells and causes the skin to dry up, become discolored, and eventually fall off. There are multiple types of gangrene and if not treated properly, are very deadly as each type is capable of damaging vital organs. The first type of gangrene is dry gangrene. This is often caused by a lack of blood supply to a particular area of the body. Typically, it affects the hands and feet as a result of poor blood circulation. The tissue will often dry up, become discolored, then fall off! The next type is wet gangrene, which is the result of an infected area. Wet gangrene is usually associated with an injury such as a burn or gunshot wound. It is generally more dangerous of the two because it can spread very quickly throughout the body. Symptoms include blisters with foul smelling discharge, swelling, intense pain, dry skin, fevers, and if untreated, death. There is also gas gangrene, which is far less common than the other two and is often caused by the clostridium bacteria that affects the muscles. It can additionally cause a person to experience septic shock and lowered blood pressure. Confusion, body rashes, pain, rapid heartbeat, and light headedness are all common symptoms of this type. Gangrene has been documented as far back as 1194 AD, when Duke Leopold of Austria had his foot crushed by his horse. Once the foot was infected, his surgeons advised him to have it amputated. It took them three tries to do so successfully, however, and after he likely suffered more injuries, he contracted wet gangrene and eventually died. The disease was not widespread until the 19th century during the American Civil War. Fought between 1861 and 1865, the war was a bloody affair, claiming the lives of 750,000 soldiers. By some estimates, gangrene was responsible for nearly 400,000 of those deaths. Soldiers on both sides were subjected to poor medical facilities and practices. Doctors mistakenly would use dirty hands and instruments to operate on patients, which resulted in the fast spread of gangrene. During this time, it became known as “hospital gangrene.” In most cases, soldiers died after contracting the wet gangrene type. A similar problem was presented in World War I when soldiers began contracting “trench foot.” World War I was known for its use of trenches, and where soldiers often spent long hours inside these trenches during battle. The long hours and even days spent in the trenches' unsanitary conditions often resulted in the development of gangrene, which also caused sensory nerve damage, inflammation, and frostbite.
