Necrotizing Fasciitis

Necrotizing Fasciitis (also known as the "flesh-eating disease") is a rare bacterial disease that affects the skin and is caused by the bacteria Group A Streptococcus (or Streptococcus pyogenes) - the same bacteria that causes strep throats. It can also be caused by other types of bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium perfringens, Bacteroides fragilis and Aeromonas hydrophila. The bacteria enters the body either through minor cuts, insect bites, or abrasions and it is often unknown how the infection began. Once inside, the infection rapidly destroys muscle, skin, and fat tissue. It is often fatal.

This chamber is partly inspired by Azorae's "Solitude". I said PARTLY!

Q: Etymology of the level name?
A: "Necrotizing Fasciitis" is a rare bacterial disease that affects the skin and is caused by the bacteria Group A Streptococcus (or Streptococcus pyogenes) - the same bacteria that causes strep throats. It can also be caused by other types of bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium perfringens, Bacteroides fragilis and Aeromonas hydrophila.

Q: If this is a PTI map, how did you make the thumbnail a custom one instead of the Puzzle Creator view or the view after entering the chamber?
A: Rebuild and look at the console. Check what is the name of the latest screenshot taken after you enter the chamber. Pause Portal 2 and go to the screenshots folder in Portal 2/portal2/screenshots and replace the latest screenshot with your custom one. Go back to Portal 2 and publish it. There you go.
