Norman described the pain 'as if someone had driven up out of a nail through my foot.'
CHARLESTON, S.C. —"I've grown up on beaches all my life and stepped on probably over 10,000 shells," Norman said.
"Health-wise, I try to hit 15 to 20,000 steps every day," Norman said. "The way the tides were pretty high, I unfortunately stepped on several seashells.""Fast forward to Wednesday, swelling on my right foot had grown even more. And then at that point, I was no longer walking," Norman said.After nearly a week of toughing it out, he went to the emergency room on Thursday.
That's when Norman’s doctor told him his foot was infected with Vibrio, most likely from stepping on a seashell.says there are 12 species of vibrio, and one is known to be a flesh-eating bacteria.
