Conclusion
What Ails Santa Anna
Santa Anna most likely has Gangrene, or more specifically Wet Gangrene. We came to this conclusion because Santa Anna claimed that the skin around the infected area seemed to be rotting. Wet Gangrene's symptoms include rotting skin, oozing of pus and liquid from the wound, and a bad smell from the area. It also causes fever and redness in the infected area.
