But the very next morning, the swelling had made it all the way up Sharp’s elbow and she was taken to the emergency room where she received the news that the reason for the ailment was necrotizing fasciitiswhich isa rare but deadly bacterial infection that kills the body’s soft tissue. This was reported by CBS Local.
