mother-of-two has told how a tiny cut on her forearm almost killed her after it suddenly got infected and a flesh-eating disease took hold.
Stacey said she was more worried about her bruised right arm after the fall, and barely registered the little cut on her arm, which her colleague put a small bandaid over.It wasn't until Stacey was back at work just under 48 hours later that she started to "feel a bit off"."I only found out what happened that night by going through my text messages later," Stacey said.
"The doctors said two more hours and I would have been dead, that's how fast these sort of flesh-eating infections move," Stacey said. After being reassured that any money paid out would come from her workplace's insurance cover, Stacey engaged law firm Slater and Gordon to make a claim on her behalf.
