Utah man recovering after contracting flesh-eating bacteria in his arm
“Something that we never dreamed of, and something that we had never even heard of,” said Barbara Horton.
“By the next day, his whole hand had swelled up — looked like his hand was going to break open, it was so swollen and it had these white blisters,” explained Barbara. Dr. Marc Robins, the senior medical director for wound and hyperbaric services at Intermountain Health, is not treating Isaac but spoke with FOX 13 News about flesh-eating bacteria.
Robins wants people to not be alarmed by this but to be prepared, and if they see signs of an infection to get it checked.
