Flesh eating bacteria consumes cruise passenger in 24 hours {Gadling}
May 7th 2009 2:52PM
I AM a journalist, a legit one. Daily newspapers, wire services, etc. And I agree with the statement about avoiding it.
I had it.
26 surgeries and 21 of 23 months in hospitals later (mostly in shock-trrauma, ICU and almost alwats in isolation) I left the hospital. My right leg below the knee was gone, and I was down to 124 lbs -- at 6-2 and a former college linebacker.
The critter (as I call it) almost got my heart, and I needed a bypass to replace damaged arteries.
Mine was something weird and specual, but most are caused by a strep infection very similar to the sore throat germ.
