Alabama, USA Man Infected with Flesh-eating Bacteria after Kayaking on Tennessee River: 'Do Not Get in That Water!'
Surgeons were forced to remove a chunk of an Alabama man's thigh after he became infected with flesh-eating bacteria during a family outing.
Ricky Rutherford from Waterloo developed cramping, inflammation and a fever on July 8, two days after kayaking and swimming with family and friends on the Tennessee River, local station WAFF reported. As of Monday, the warehouse worker was still in intensive care.
Rutherford's symptoms grew worse, and he went to hospital with his wife. Doctors initially thought he had cellulitis, but after his temperature soared to 105 degrees Fahrenheit, they realized something else was behind his symptoms.
The man's wife has taken to social media to warn others about the dangers of potentially-fatal necrotizing fasciitis.
