We have seen cases of people having to have their body parts removed after some injury or illness, but this case is extreme as it led to the removal of all four limbs of a person.
The case comes from California, where a woman in her 40s consumed fish that made her sick and eventually led to the removal of all four limbs. According to reports, the woman is said to have eaten tilapia fish, which unfortunately was undercooked and contained a kind of bacteria that is fatal.
After eating the fish, the woman noticed that her fingers and lips turned black, and by the time she visited the doctor, her condition had deteriorated further. The doctors had to put her into a medically induced coma to keep her alive.
As a result of the contamination, she fell ill and had to undergo life-saving surgery, which saved her life at the cost of her limbs. The bacteria Vibrio vulnificus, which is found in uncooked seafood like prawns, oysters, and some fishes, is a deadly bacterium that can also contaminate through open wounds in brackish water.
