A woman died of a flesh-eating bacteria two weeks after cutting her leg in the waters off Anna Maria Island in Florida, her family says.
She showed no symptoms that Friday or the following morning, when her family left. But by Saturday afternoon, she told them she was in pain. On Sunday, her leg was red and swollen and her friends forced her to go to an urgent care facility, where she received a tetanus shot and an antibiotic. A day later, her left shin was black.
"On top of this she has suffered from two strokes and has suffered from kidney failure," Traci Fleming wrote in a June 26 post on Facebook, where she chronicled her mother-in-law's condition."Her entire body is septic."Lynn Fleming and her grandchildren the day she fell and cut her foot, subsequently contracting the infection that killed her, on June 14.Traci Fleming said she and her husband returned to Florida to be with Lynn Fleming in her final days.
"It is very ironic that she loved the beach so much and could not wait to retire there," Traci Fleming said."But it’s also what took her life away."NBC News has not confirmed flesh-eating bacteria as the official cause of death.
