An Ohio woman, Marie Trainer, ended up having her arms and legs partially amputated after becoming infected with bacteria found in dog saliva.
Marie reported feeling ill after returning from a trip to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic with her husband of 32 years, Matthew Trainer. At first she thought it was the flu, but her health continued to deteriorate. She was rushed to the emergency room, where doctors said Marie was experiencing liver and kidney failure. However, they couldn’t pinpoint the cause.
The Trainers, who have two dogs, suspect that one of their dogs licked a small scrape on Marie’s arm, leading to the dangerous infection. For Marie, the infection attacked the small blood vessels in her arms, hands, legs, and feet. The decreased blood flow eventually caused gangrene to develop in her extremities. To save her life, doctors had to amputate parts of her arms and legs. Marie has undergone eight surgeries, according to ABC News.
