Sixty-Year-Old Woman Ignored Insect Bite, Leg Necrosis Resulted in Urgent Limb Amputation to Save Life

Reported 8 months ago

An Irish 69-year-old woman named Josie Rowley woke up one morning to find her lower leg bitten by an unknown insect. Initially thinking the wound would heal on its own, she dismissed it. However, the wound began to ulcerate and worsen, leading to doctors recommending amputation to prevent severe infections. Josie's daughter shared that her mother, previously active in the community, has faced emotional distress due to the amputation and now resides with her daughter, who has become her full-time caregiver after quitting her job.
