http://www.foxnews.com/health/2018/07/31/man-has-4-limbs-amputated-after-dog-lick-leads-to-severe-infection-report-says.html

A 48-year-old man with a history of good health and who has spent his life around dogs was forced to have all of his limbs amputated after contracting a rare blood infection that likely came from his own pooch.

Greg Manteufel, of West Bend, Wisc., landed in the emergency room last month with what he thought was the flu, Fox 6 Now reported.

It hit him with a vengeance, Dawn Manteufel, his wife, told the news outlet. Just bruising all over him. Looked like somebody beat him up with a baseball bat.

Subsequent testing revealed that Manteufel had contracted an infection from a bacteria identified as capnocytophaga, which is found in dog saliva. The bacteria can cause severe infections in people with weakened immune systems, and is spread through bites or close contact with infected dogs.

Patients infected with the bacteria may exhibit blisters around the bite wound, redness or swelling, fever, diarrhea, vomiting, headaches and muscle and joint pain. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), symptoms will typically appear within three to five days, but can take up to two weeks to present themselves. Severe infections can be fatal within 72 hours after symptoms appear.

This infection in his blood triggered a very severe response on his body, Dr. Silvia Munoz-Price, an infectious disease specialist, told Fox 6 Now. More than 99 percent of the people that have dogs will never have this issue. Its just chance.

The infection caused Manteufels blood pressure to drop, and the circulation to his limbs decreased, causing those limbs to turn black.

Dawn Manteufel said that within one week, her husbands legs were gone, followed by more surgeries to remove portions of his hands, and then half of both forearms.

Furthermore, all areas of Gregs body and tissue was affected by the bacteria and the sepsis, the [doctors] say his nose will need extensive repairs, which means he will need plastic surgery to rebuild a new healthy nose, a post on the familys GoFundMe page said. Greg is going to need several more surgeries, lots of time and his family by his side to get [through] this life-changing event.

Dawn Manteufel said that they are focused on what her husband has left, rather than what was taken away.

Man, what an unlucky, unfortunate incident...

my dog doesn't do the licking to face often. does enjoy getting petted around the mid section and maybe having her butt scratched a bit.

she's a total sweety if can look past the stigma of the pitbull.

Going out on your own terms can be the definition of death with dignity.

Ever heard of cat scratch fever? It can have some serious complications. Cats can fuck you up with rare things, too, not just dogs.

Just looked up cat scratch fever.

Im now wondering if I ever caught it. On a few occasions I had an issue with swollen lymph nodes on my neck/ear area. And now Im realizing that ever since my cat past away I never had the issue again.

This guy was incredible unlucky,I mean losing your entire life over a lick? The right dog had to lick him in just the right spot, his immune system had to be at it's lowest for it AND what he got can't be cured unless he's effectively mutilated, what kinda life can you have like that? i mean yeah there are prosthetic but not for all four limbs and I doubt he has the money to get them let alone maintain them for the rest of his life.
