Answers:
Gangrene is a process of necrosis resulting from an infection. Typically, the infection is a result of a severe cut, injury or lack of adequate blood flow. Gangrene typically has a significantly foul odor and a black color to the skin. This would be a gradual process that happens over a period of several days. The best defense is a thorough cleaning of any wound with antiseptic cream along with proper bandaging. An infection would start with increased localized pain, redness and possibly a fever. At the first sign of infection, go to you doctor to get some antibiotics. If these steps are taken, gangrene can be prevented before it starts. If you have circulation problems, possibly resulting from diabetes or major damage to you blood vessels, gangrene is more common and you should be much more cautious with any small or minor wound.
lack of blood supply to the tissues leads to cellular necrosis and then it becomes gangrenous. you can prevent it by preventing blood occlusion to your body parts.
Well it depends on what causes it. Gangrene can come from an infected injury, in which case you're going to see signs of infection first. Or it can come from a blood clot or other means of cutting off blood flow.. in which case it will be bluish and quite painful first... then you can get gangrene of the insides, well that has no signs other than pain... But I'm assuming you have some kind of wound? to prevent gangrene, keep the wound clean. If it is infected, get on antibiotic. But in a word, gangrene is rotting meat. Your meat has to die first, and then it starts to decompose. Not likely in this day and time, but it can happen if you really are not taking care of something.
to prevent keep it clean rup a soft cloth with rubbign alchohal on it or use maggots
maggots eat dead flesch and kil bacteria cousign infections liek ganggrene
MAGGOTS WILL NOT HARM THE CUT OR LIVING FLESH BUT CLEAN THEM BEFORE USE
