“It was like a movie in real life. I can’t believe what happened, it all happened very quickly,” said the son of the deceased woman, Wade.

Lynn cut her leg while walking on the beach.

“There was a small depression under the water that she did not notice. She fell in there and then came out with a small cut and swelling on her leg. It was a small cut that we almost immediately forgot about. But he swelled and began to bleed,” recalls the son.

After a couple of days, Lynn went to the doctor as the cut continued to bleed. He gave the woman a tetanus shot and wrote a prescription for an antibiotic.

The next day, the family found a woman in her home unconscious. At the hospital, doctors said that she had contracted carnivorous bacteria. In an attempt to save the leg, the woman underwent several operations in which she experienced two strokes and sepsis.

Foot fleming flushed and swollen, the woman began to fever. These are all signs of infection with carnivorous bacteria. As a result, she died in the hospital.

“This disease is curable. Just if you get an open wound on the beach, keep an eye on it,” Wade said.

“She loved this place. She couldn't wait for us to come here on vacation. She loved the ocean and walks on the beach. Unfortunately, this place took her life in a very strange way,” says daughter-in-law Lynn Tracy.

According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), every third person who becomes infected with carnivorous bacteria dies. From 2010 in the United States, deaths from carnivorous bacteria are reported annually from 700 to 1200.
