A dog touched her. Now, she has no limbs.

Marie Trainer wasn’t quite sure what happened when she felt sick after returning from vacation, but when gangrene started setting in, doctors had to solve the mystery. Little did they know, the solution was a bit close to home. Let’s get into it!

Kinda happened to me. Changed meds and it caused wounds. Was healing on their own but my cat licked one. Next thing I know I'm in the hospital getting tests. Doc comes in and asks if I have pets. "Yes a cat," I say. He laughed and said I had an infection that isn't a human one, i.e. my little deathbringer. Thankfully they saved my foot where the wound and lick was, though I KINDA wish they did lop it off. Was gonna salvage it, put it on a chain and when my fiancee would pick an argument I'd say "That's it! I'm putting my foot down!" and throw that on the ground. Unrelated: Two months later a doctor misdiagnosed something, I was in the hospital again, and learned I have a flesh eating bacteria and needed immediate surgery. Unrelated but evidence I have the worst damn luck.

I think it is cultural here in the US because I've heard it many, many times.

Your immune system adjusts to your circumstances. I'm guessing our ancestors had blockbuster immune systems. It's possible they did have natural antiseptics. It's actually a fact that human temperature has dropped because our immune systems are not working as hard as 200 years ago.

[@catherinebirch2399]

I love my two dogs but I always make sure to wash my hands after petting and hugging them, knowing how they both like to roll in whatever nasty and gross stuffs they find outside during our walks. I also don't ignore any cuts or open wounds I may have. Antibacterial/antiseptic and bandaids are always in supply in my household.

[@edi9892]

This is scary and I know one woman who lost a leg due to an inflammation and one who almost lost it... One of them stepped onto something like a tiny piece of a branch while standing on her otherwise pristine lawn. That's all it took to say goodbye to her leg forever... It turned black at a crazy fast pace and no treatment helped... The other had a swollen leg (don't know the cause, but something apparently insignificant) and since it hurt, she went to a hospital but got turned back with only an antibacterial cream. As you might imagine, it got worse in no time and she tried to get back to the hospital, but they refused her saying that they had already given her a treatment and she just needed to apply it and it shall soon all be fine... She went to a different hospital, and there they told her that she should have come earlier, as it would have been just an hour or two later and she could have suffered an amputation! Lastly, every single time I got scratched by a cat, it caused swelling and a throbbing sensation. I'm so glad it neve escalated beyond that... Just a tiny scratch can still be scary enough!
