Lost 25% of the skin: a resident of Florida fights for life after infection with carnivorous bacteria

According to his wife, after being infected with carnivorous bacteria, her husband underwent three surgeries in Florida, as a result of which doctors removed about 25 percent of the skin, and another surgery is currently scheduled.

When the 50-year-old David Irland of Orlando, Florida showed symptoms of the flu, including muscle pain and fever, he did not expect anything serious. However, everything turned into a threat to life.

His wife, Jodi Irish, said that five days later, when the symptoms intensified, her husband complained of severe pain in his groin and leg, so she took him to the emergency room. There, doctors reported that the man was infected with carnivorous bacteria.

“It was unpredictable,” she told Fox News. “One moment he’s fine, and the next moment he’s already sick.”

Since Irish, the father of two girls aged seven and five, was in the hospital, doctors had to remove more than 25 percent of the skin from his body. The man also had kidney failure.

“I try to be strong for my children. I miss him. I want my husband to come back,” said the victim’s wife, noting that the man will have to undergo at least one more operation.

According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), necrotizing fasciitis, which David suffers from, is a rare bacterial infection that spreads quickly in the body and can lead to death. Symptoms include fever, dizziness, or nausea.

According to the CDC, bacteria most often enter the body through wounds.

Jody said that, according to the doctors, the bacteria got into her husband’s body through an open wound on his leg, and “since he is a diabetic, the bacteria turned into streptococcus and began to destroy his body.”

According to Jody, the doctors told her that they admit the likelihood that a man would have to amputate his arms and legs if he survived at all.

Irish is currently in critical condition at the Florida Hospital's intensive care unit for continuous dialysis and ventilation.

Brother Irish created a page on the portal GoFundMeto help family with unforeseen medical expenses.
