Two cases of flesh eating bacteria have caused great concern in Wyoming, as they've not only happened in the same state, but same city.
The cases occurred in Gillette, and one of them has become fatal.
Both of them were admitted to Campbell County Memorial Hospital with strep infections.
It is a very common bacteria, that mostly causes strep throat, but if it get's into an infected wound can become necrotizing fasciitis.
Doctors are recommending that anyone experiencing amounts of pain, that seem higher than normal, from a wound, seek treatment immediately.
