UK Woman Loses Four Limbs After Sepsis Triggered by Dog Lick on Wound

Manjit Sangha, a 56-year-old UK woman, developed severe sepsis after her pet dog licked a small cut on her skin, leading to rapid health deterioration. Within 24 hours, she became unconscious, suffered six cardiac arrests, and required amputation of both hands and legs to control the infection. She also lost her spleen and developed pneumonia and gallstones. After 32 weeks in hospital, she returned home and now warns others about sepsis, emphasizing early recognition and treatment to prevent serious outcomes.
