died after
developing sepsis
when his fresh
tattoo wound
became infected
from swimming in
the sea.
The unidentified
31-year-old
ignored advice
given to those
with new inkings
that they should
wait for two
weeks before
venturing into
pools or oceans.
Instead, he
decided to
venture into the
warm waters in
the Gulf of
Mexico just five
days after
obtaining a
religious cross on
his right calf.
According to Daily
Mail,But because
his wound was
still fresh, it
became
contaminated
with a flesh-
eating bacteria
that tore chunks
out of his skin
and ultimately led
to his death.
The day after he
went swimming,
he developed a
fever, chills and a
red rash close to
his tattoo, experts
wrote in the BMJ
Case Reports.
His condition
continued to
worsen over the
next two days,
before he was
eventually
admitted to
hospital, they
said.
