A man who had noticed a spot on his leg died of sepsis soon afterwards when it was discovered he had been infected by a flesh-eating bug.
Brett Dymond, 38, started to feel unwell just days before he died on Mother’s Day after experiencing hallucinations and noticing a spot on his leg that began to swell.
His wife Charlene called 111 and he was told to go to the hospital where doctors discovered he had contracted sepsis from Necrotising Fasciitis – a rare flesh-eating infection that can occur if a wound gets infected.
The family is uncertain how Dymond caught the infection but medical staff said the bug can be found in soil. Relatives believe that he may have caught it through the spot on his leg while doing gardening or garage work.
