Physical symptoms are typically indicated by a rapid rise in the pulse along with a high fever and chills, additionally shallow breathing occurs as respiratory rate falls. The person may have a very drawn and clammy face along with a pale complexion. Losing consciousness is common and confusion is one of the most typical symptoms in the person as septic shock sets in.
One form of infection is similar to septicemia, and it is called lymphangitis, this form of bacterial infection occurs along a lymph vessel, symptoms are the appearance of a red stripe that runs from a wound or abscess in the direction of the trunk. While the condition per se is not considered blood poisoning, this condition can quickly lead to septicemia in the individual. Immediate medical attention is required at the hands of a qualified medical practitioner if either infection or poisoning is suspected.
An infection of the body by a highly virulent infection or a compromised immune system is the usual cause of septicemia. The bacterial infection begins usually inside a poorly cleansed wound or an abscess where the bacterial growth cannot be contained by the immune system, thus the bacteria travel into the lymph vessels giving rise to a serious inflammation in the nodes; the red stripe characteristic of the condition then begin to appear as infection reaches a critical stage.

The bacterial infection that begins in the lymph vessels spreads to the lymph nodes in the body, till the infection finally and inevitably ends up in the bloodstream. Even the mildest of infections can result in blood poisoning, particularly in people who have a compromised or impaired immune system functioning.
Severe illnesses such as pneumonia or severe tonsillitis also caused by bacteria can cause septicemia and may be the underlying causative factors of the condition even when a diagnosis has not detected an illness. In some cases a fungal infection can be the causative factor-though this form of the condition is rare.
The detrimental effects of bacterial toxins can be effectively removed through the use of different supplements, these in turn aid in the purification of the blood. The defense system of the body is bolstered to a great degree by supplements of the vitamin C. A reduction in the dosage levels must follow during the course of a supplementation regimen using vitamin C where the stools become too watery or if diarrhea sets in.
