A woman spent a month in intensive care and almost lost a leg after catching a rare and deadly flesh-eating bug - from a rusty nail.
Colleen O’Connor, 38, was helping her friends renovate a dilapidated house when she scratched her left leg on a nail sticking out of a wall.
Four days later she woke up suffering excruciating pain in her other leg, which she assumed was down to an injury sustained during one of her regular gym or kickboxing sessions.
