A dog touched her. Now, she has no limbs. By rjoachim | November 4, 2024 | 0 In the case of the woman you mentioned, the bacteria entered her bloodstream through a small cut on her skin that was licked by her dog. The infection spread rapidly, leading to sepsis and tissue death (necrosis). To save her life, doctors had to amputate her limbs.It’s important to note that this is a very rare occurrence. Most people who come into contact with dog saliva will not experience any adverse effects. However, it’s always a good idea to practice good hygiene, such as washing your hands after petting a dog, especially if you have an open wound.
