My uncle died of sepsis from an infected toe. They amputated the toe, but it just spread like wildfire and took him out in just a few days.
I had a close family member get sepsis and end up in the ICU from a cat bite. This was someone who was healthy and in their early 40s. The only risk factor was that they were on a biologic medicine for psoriasis.
Yes, believe me I know. We had discussed it multiple times as I felt the risk of the medication possibly wasn’t worth the benefits. He went from healthy to in the ICU in less than 8 hours.Well, that's a pretty major risk factor considering those medicines basically turn your immune system off.
This is terrifying. I love me my mani/pedis. But I know someone that lost a toe because of sepsis due to a pedicure.I had a sepsis infection when I was in my early 50s, presumably from acupuncture needles. The infection settled in my back and I had to have surgery to have the infection completely removed. I was in the hospital for 11 days then sent home will IV antibiotics and home health care and eventually aqua physical therapy. It was NOT a fun time!
I was also on Enbrel so what might have been a mild infection for someone else was probably worse for me because of the biologic.
And cat bites are nasty to begin with.Well, that's a pretty major risk factor considering those medicines basically turn your immune system off.
The Bacterial Girl tour has been canceled.
No, all we know is that there will be some type of postponement-but that’s it.I thought it was just postponed until further notice? Is this a new update?

Yes let’s hope for the best for her health and tour, health obviously comes first but she deserves one Greatest Hits tour and I’m sure she wants to do it.I was afraid that news of a permanent cancellation meant she has gotten worse, or that things are worse than they originally let on. Still hoping for the best for Madonna.

I'm so sorry, Mommasita. What a horrible thing to have put on your shoulders.My Mother died of Sepsis in 24 hours. Well, she must have been more sick than I knew and her husband failed to address it.
I only knew when she was in the ICU, already comatose, basically they told me she was already gone, but wait 24 hours for a brain scan for activity. There was none. I had to decide to stop the Ventilator.
