Days after returning home from a Punta Cana vacation, Marie Trainer called out of work with a backache and nausea. Then her temperature spiked and dropped, sending her to a local Stark County, Ohio, emergency room in the early hours of May 11.
When Trainer woke in a hospital bed nine days later, her hands and legs had been amputated.
It took doctors seven days to discover Trainer incurred a severe infection, not from a "tropical" travel disease as they first suspected, but from her German shepherd's kisses.

Also, his dermatologist got my permission to present his case at a conference. I looked up Stevens-Johnson syndrome. He didnt have any flu like symptoms or purple rash. His skin just opened up everywhere. We went in right away because I saw the herpes on his fingers -hed had it on his hands before. A few days later and he was in the hospital on a morphine drip for the pain.
Wow! A terrible experience for your son and your family. I’m so sorry all of you had to go through this.
Sorry, Id rather be dead. Prayers for this woman and her family.
Thats very kind of you, thanks. The worst memory is when they were trying to find a place to put in an IV but his arms and hands were so bad they had a hard time finding a place with skin for the tape to adhere to. He kept crying and saying dont let them hurt me. Then, what made me cry, he gave up on me and turned to the nurses as they kept handling him and began saying,Please dont hurt me Tough to see your toddler believe that you failed to protect him :(.
Its been almost 7 years and no reoccurrence so hopefully it was a one time thing.
OMG!! Prayers for your son!!
Thanks:). Hes fine now, still has other skin issues but has a fantastic dermatologist and a great allergist.
That may be one of the reasons that all references to dogs in the Bible are negative.
What else does a dog regularly lick with its tongue?
Hmmm... Let me think...
Things like this do happen. I saw an episode of Dr. G where a healthy man in his 30s did from the same virus that causes cold sores (Herpes Simplex) For some reason he went septic and his body produced no antibodies against it.

Its a wonder Im not dead.
I heard that myth back in the ‘60s - it ain’t so but many act as if it is.
