At first glance this might seem humorous. But last November I spent seven days in the hospital trying not to die from sepsis. My infection was caused by a urology procedure. If you think you have an infection, go to the ER as soon as possible. Waiting even one day may kill you.

Warning, Laz: No bikini line photos in the article. But if there were she’d be wearing a rather large bikini. LOL

Judging from the size of the influencer, she probably can’t see her bikini line. And no, it’s not humorous to me.

From the look at her I’d say tidal forces.

My future husband actually died of sepsis due to a ruptured appendix and was thumped back to life. He has an insane tolerance for pain.

I had a kidney transplant, so any time I wind up with a UTI from soaking in the tub too long, I have to treat it ASAP. My PCP likes to wait for cultures, which take days. I can’t wait days. If it travels to my kidney, I may wind up back on dialysis or worse.

Infections can go from zero to sixty in no time flat.

The most agonizing pain I ever experienced years ago, was an infection that traveled to my cheek from a bad tooth. I was blinded by the pain until I went to the ER and they lanced it.

Good advice.
I just found out today that a friend is in the hospital with a very serious infection that he initially got from a small cut.

Antibiotic-resistant infections and the life-threatening condition known as sepsis are becoming more common around the world.

A report by the World Health Organization states that one in six bacterial infections worldwide were resistant to standard antibiotics in 2023.

Between 2018 and 2023, drug resistance grew in more than 40% of the bacterial strains tracked by health experts.

Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed that certain dangerous, highly resistant bacteria (called NDM-CRE) jumped by more than 460% in the United States between 2019 and 2023.

Good grief, talk about your acreage. I think the only things she influences are the Earth’s rotation, the USGS seismographs, and possibly the Earth’s tides.

She sure thinks she’s “hot”, don’t she? /s (No answer required. Snicker)

A ruptured appendix nearly took me out. 10 days on Antibiotic IVs dumping stuff in to my body.
