What started as a minor bite turned into a terrifying medical emergency. This terrifying image shows a severely swollen and blackened hand—an advanced infection that spread rapidly within hours. Doctors believe it may have been caused by a spider or insect bite, or possibly by an aggressive form of necrotizing fasciitis, also known as flesh-eating bacteria.
If you ever notice swelling, severe pain, or discoloration like this after a bite or injury, seek emergency medical help IMMEDIATELY. Delaying treatment can lead to permanent tissue damage or worse.
Infections like this can become severe quickly and require urgent surgery to remove the affected tissue.

Before relying on tests for answers, you already have a natural screening tool: your body. Paying attention to your body can give you helpful clues to detect diseases, like cancer, that you might otherwise miss. Early detection is critical to cancer progression, so if you notice any of these early warning signs, consult your doctor to see if you need further testing.
Indirect symptoms
Cancer can manifest in many ways, and not all symptoms are directly related to the primary tumor or the affected area. Indirect symptoms of cancer are those that may arise due to the body’s response to the disease or its impact on other systems. These symptoms can be subtle or mimic other conditions, making them easy to ignore. Understanding these indirect symptoms is essential for early detection and timely intervention, which can significantly improve the outcomes for people affected by cancer.
