It looks like one of the many diabetes cases. There are some HORRIBLE cases of diabetes where people's body parts just start to rot

I have to agree. Looks more like the flesh eating disease to me

Mercury can be harmful if ingested breathing, food, water .... If gets into the bloodstream leads to brain cells, which further prevents blood flow to the brain. It is certainly toxic (deadly) but can not melt flesh. Here is something else led to the decomposition of meat and not trampling on energy saving bulbs. The same story was about a neon light. How many broken neon tubes and no one fell apart because of it.

I also have to disagree with this.

They took out mercury from thermometers I don't see why they'd put it in lightbulbs... but then again it is people we're talking about

I hear Mercury exposure causes insanity as well.

Interesting... I have trouble believing that they put mercury in modern day energy saving bulbs. If you ever played with the balls out of a thermometer, chances are you have become a little crazier. The infection? Welcome to the world of easier living.
