- The CDC states, "When germs get into a person's body, they can cause an infection. If that infection doesn't stop, it causes sepsis." The condition affects at least 1.7 million adults and more than 18,000 kids annually.
- Early diagnosis and treatment are critical, as sepsis can be curable. Anyone who suspects they may be at risk should seek medical attention for symptoms including clammy skin, confusion, or high heart rate.
