"Robert Vaughn, 32, of Cartersville said he is not sure how he got the infection, but on May 3, the landscape business owner had just finished a project, and when he got back to the office.

"Just godawful pain in my groin area. It's hard to walk, hard to sit down, it just hurt, hurt all in my back," Vaughn said.

"He began to get sick, throwing up for about three minutes and had to go lay down. The next thing I know he's in the hospital, and he's been there ever since," Troup said.

That was May 4.

Vaughn said doctors told him he has a form of the flesh-eating bacteria, but he's not sure where he got it from.

...it still remains a mystery how he contracted the disease.

Dr. Robin Dretler is an infectious disease specialist and said it is extremely rare for someone to contract a flesh-eating bacteria unless there is a deep cut to the body where bacteria can get past the protective layer of the skin. "

A form of the bacteria? Not the typical MRSA, or they would have said MRSA. Fuck. Symptom set does not fit typical MRSA onset. Flu like symptoms within hours? Not noraml at all.
