How to use "Gangrene" in context?
Gangrene is a life-threatening condition caused by injury or infection of the skin and underlying tissues. The most common site of injury is the feet, which can result from sores on the feet, frostbite, or other injuries.
Examples of infection that can lead to gangrene include deep cuts, breaks, or infections that spread past the surface of the skin. Gangrene may also be caused by fungus, bacteria, or multiple parasites.
When gangrene sets in, the surrounding tissues die and can no longer provide oxygen and nutrients to the affected area. This can cause the skin to swell and turn dark purple or black.
