Yeah. No.
Now that’s a big flea.
Hear that liberals? Stay where you are. You don’t want to get bit bY a flea in Texas
That open Southern Border is bringing in some awful flees.
A very effective treatment for sepsis is a vitamin C drip. I notice that was not tried.
Added 20 million dogs to the US population in 2 years - it makes sense we see stories like this.
If that was my brother or son, whatever end goal it is that he wants, I will support him in that goal.
His body is not all there, but apparently, his mind still is.
“Texas man loses both arms, part of his feet after a single flea bite”
Where I live in Texas, REAL MEN don’t take no crap from a FLEA. Oh, please.
Holy crap!
Must have been a Democrat flea.
> The cause of Kohlof’s sepsis and quick decline was pinpointed to typhus, which stemmed from a single bite from a flea.
Took the article quite a while to get to that.
Keep your eyes on the lookout for tiny insects in retail stores. I returned contaminated items from Macy’s, COSTCO, Amazon, and Walmart.
I thought Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers bit him.
About 10+ years ago, my brother was at his son’s house for Thanksgiving. He complained about some soreness and pain in his hand and oddly his son’s beagle kept sniffing at his hand, sort of obsessively as if he smelled something “off”.
A few days later after he went home, he went to his doctor as his whole hand had swollen up, red and painful and he had a bright red line running up his arm to his elbow and was running a high fever.
His doctor sent him straight to the hospital.
He was diagnosed with necrotizing fasciitis. He was admitted and put on IV antibiotics and wound care including hydrotherapy. At one point, amputation of the infected finger if not his entire hand was not off the table if the infection could not be stemmed. He lost part of his ring finger and much damage to surrounding nerves. He spent nearly a month in the hospital.
The doctors also tried to determine how and where he got this infection. A few days before he went to his son’s house for Thanksgiving, he had been removing fallen wood from his property near the Jersey shore, but he didn’t recall being bitten or stung by any bug.
They thought perhaps he had been bitten by a spider. Brown Recluse spiders can cause this, but they are not found in NJ so they were unsure how or from what he got infection but were pretty sure it was from a spider bite.
So it was the medication, not the flea bite, that caused his gangrene.
They’re big fleas down there in TX!
We used to organize flea hunts using .22 rifles.
Now, our fire ant hunts used flame throwers!
Thank you, Joe Biden, for facilitating the return of a disease long eradicated in the US and largely confined to the third world through your open-border policy.
That's one helluva "lifesaving" treatment.
If you're going to take my hands and feet, just put a bullet in my head and save my family the burden of taking care of me.
Really?
I got lucky!
the vasopressor treatment did him in - not the flea bite
