When my son was five he had a bug bite that had become infected. One day he got a fever and couldn't walk on it. In the daylight I was shocked to see his skin had become translucent and his flesh was black underneath it. We rushed him to the hospital and he was given an antibiotic that was so strong they needed permission from the government(were Canadian)they drew a circle around the infection to see how quickly it was spreading. Thank God after a few hours the antibiotics worked because the doctors had told my husband and I that my son was about 12 hours away from having his leg amputated in order to save his life. If we had gotten their later he would've lost his leg or worse his life!

No matter how small a cut or a scratch is we always put an antiseptic on it as soon as possible.

Thank you Anderson for bringing those brave women on your show to share their story. My son who is 12 now and myself were very moved by their bravery!
