Infected by bacteria that eat meat, causing illness.

According to Hong Kong's "Wen Wei Po" on March 17, 2014, Lewis, a Hampshire man in the United Kingdom, contracted common flu in November 2013. I did not expect that this small disease that could be easily cured turned into a fatal carnivorous infection. Although he ultimately saved his life, his left hand and feet were cut off, his lips were severely eroded, and his 3-year-old son was afraid to approach, making him very sad.

It is reported that Lewis, 34, suffered a cold in November 2013 and was admitted to hospital for treatment. However, his condition worsened and he was diagnosed with group A streptococcus. He developed sepsis and toxic shock syndrome. Most of his skin was dark, his lungs, kidneys, heart and other major organs stopped working, and he was in a coma for a whole week. The doctor warned him that his survival rate was only 3% and that his girlfriend and family members should be prepared.

Later, Lewis was transferred to the hospital and survived an amputation. The doctor also extracted muscles from his back to reconstruct the necrotic right arm. After the operation, Lewis had long scars on his back. Sam, a 3-year-old son, didn't like his father and kept a distance from him. Lewis had to show his biceps with pain, made his son laugh, and let himself be relieved. The doctor is trying to get his right hand back. ^[1]
