Girl, 10, catches horrific infection after playing in pigsty

A ten-year-old girl managed to catch a gruesome infection on her feet after walking through a pigsty while on holiday.

Doctors at a primary care clinic in New England, USA, diagnosed her with a parasitic infection caused by the fleas. The infection, known as Tungiasis, is caused by fleas and can be common in poverty-hit areas in Central and South America.AdvertisementThese lesions then become infected with bacteria, which leads to abscesses or pus.Treatment generally consists of surgically extracting the burrowed sand fleas and then applying topical antibiotic.

Caught infection playing in pig pen..... No shit......
