An Indianapolis woman has died after she contracted a flesh-eating bacteria. It is believed that the infection began during an annual family vacation to Florida. The family traveled to Florida to watch the races and stayed at a hotel while there. According to recent reports from Fox News, Richard Martin, Carol’s husband believes that his wife contracted the flesh-eating bacterial infection from the hot tub at the hotel.
“My thing is, nobody else got it, the flesh-eating bacteria. She was the only one that got in the hot tub.”
Upon returning home from their vacation, Carol Martin noticed that she had a pimple like sore on her right butt cheek. The following week, she had a nickel sized sore that no longer resembled a pimple. The sore was painful and she went to St. Francis Hospital to get it checked out. During that first visit, the doctor gave Martin antibiotics and a heating pad, sending her home.
