      Hi Leo!

      Gangrene is caused by a part of your body dying… It’s a terrible, scary thing!

      It mostly happens when a body part no longer gets blood. Without blood it starts to die, and to create infections.

      But don’t worry: gangrene doesn’t just happen! It’s very rare, and it’s easy to cure if you find out about it in time!
