After eating raw oysters, the pensioner lost his hand because of the deadly bacteria.
It should immediately warn that photos of the hand of a 71-year-old pensioner, whose name is not called, may well scare.
The man regaled himself with raw oysters and after 12 hours he felt the symptoms of fever and severe pain in his hand. In 2 days on the hand of the unfortunate appeared large bloody blisters with which he went to the doctor.
Karen Wong from the National Medical University in Jeonju (South Korea), to which this patient fell, quickly realized that he was infected with carnivorous bacteria "Vibrio vulnificus", which usually live in warm brackish waters.
Getting into the body with raw seafood or through open wounds and cuts, bacteria cause great damage to the body, and even such a disease looks very unpleasant.
Bacteria "Vibrio vulnificus" kill 15-30% of people who are infected with them. Dr. Wong's patient survived, but only thanks to the fact that in 25 days she realized that only the amputation of the hand can help him.
