Buruli Ulcer, a flesh-eating disease that is widely spreading across West Africa. Currently, 40,000 of people are diagnosed with Buruli Ulcer while many other cases, unfortunately, remain unreported because of many factors, including illiteracy, poverty, depending on traditional curing alternatives.

Many sufferers strongly believe that this has to do with magic and that they are under the influence of witchcraft. Therefore, they endure in silence festering wounds and injuries that require, in most cases, amputation.

What makes this disease even more terrifying is that experts and doctors are still unable to give answers to the question marks they have raised about how this horrifying flesh-eating disease can be transmitted. Among these experts, we find a group that is hypothesizing that this disease may be transmitted and spread by a direct contact with the opening caused on the surface of the skin.

According to what the World Health Organization had reported, a short-term defense against the bacteria which result into a zombie( the disease) can be created through a vaccine, Mycobacterium ulcerans.
