It has begun early this year with all the flooding.... Keep the clorox handy... http://www.fox26houston.com/news/163459071-story POSTED:JUN 20 2016 08:55PM CDT UPDATED:JUN 20 2016 09:41PM CDT HOUSTON (FOX 26) - What started out as a normal family outing, a day trip to enjoy the beach in Galveston, has turned into a nightmare for one Jacinto City family, changing their lives forever. 50-year-old Brian Parrott was only in the water for a short period of time last Sunday. He felt very ill the next day. Brian's mother, Donna Dailey says it all happened so fast. "You go swimming with your family on Sunday, you go to work on Monday, you have a red leg on Tuesday, Wednesday you have boils on your leg, Thursday you lose the leg, " Dailey said. Brian was rushed to LBJ Hospital where he underwent emergency surgery to amputated his right leg from the knee down. Brian is currently being monitored in the hospital. Doctors told his mother that he likely contracted a flesh eating virus through a scratch on his foot. "And because he's diabetic, he may have had a scratch on his foot everything was right for it," Dailey said. The family tells us that there were no warning signs at the beach, and felt it was important to share Brian’s story. "We want to we want to get the word out, and that's the main thing. There's nothing more that we can do for my son but maybe we can save somebody else," Dailey said. |

This usually effects those with a weakened immune system. If you have an open wound just stay out of the water. It's so bad stuff but shouldn't keep a healthy individual from enjoying the water. |

Its bad stuff that happens very quick. My grandpaw got in the water not even knee deep years ago in galveston and he now has no left leg from mid thigh down..it started just like you said then the next morning there was a golf ball size hole on his leg. By the end of the day they took from the knee down. Did more testing and it was already showing up in his knee. Took off the knee. A day later they found traces of it up in his thigh and decided to just take the whole thing off. Not only can it loose your arm or leg but it'll straight up kill you if it spreads to fast. I dont care how hot it is, I won't get in the water around here without waders, and I damn sure don't get in the water in the beaches around here. |
