Ugh, god damn it. This is bad news for reasons beyond medical intervention.
Consider the premise of gangrene or any scenario involving necrotized flesh in contact with living flesh. If an infectious proteinaceous agent gets beyond protective barriers, whether via artificial or natural means, with sufficient dose or load, you'll get pathology. Which is to say, whether in a clinical experimental setting or not, this can happen to organisms.
