What was the whole matter?
Jennifer is an American model, who went to Bahamas for a trip. During an interview, she told that while she was shaving her legs, she got a cut, which she considered to be a common cut without considering it very important. After this she went to enjoy the beach side, after which all her problems started.
The leg had swollen three times.
When Jennifer was enjoying with this cut, she started feeling swelling on her knees due to which she was having difficulty even walking. Even the slightest movement or touch was causing pain to Jennifer. After this incident the situation started getting worse.
During an interview, this model told that ‘It was so swollen that the size of my knee had become at least three times bigger’. After this she felt the need to go to the doctor, but the doctor found it to be a sprain or wound. It was thought that it would be cured with medicine.
Leg had to be amputated due to small cut
A few days after this incident, when Jennifer was working in the kitchen, she suddenly collapsed. At the same time, his brother and family members present at home got him admitted to the hospital through emergency services. It was found that after going to the beach, flash-eating bacteria had entered his cut, due to which this infection occurred.
After this, Barlow was examined for a few weeks. Doctors were trying to save his leg, but the condition of his leg was getting worse. Ultimately the doctors decided that the leg would have to be amputated as this was the only option left.
Pay attention to these things while shaving
Shaving hands and legs is a common practice among women. If you are shaving and get a cut, first wash the cut with clean water and then apply pressure on the cut with cotton or a clean cloth, this will stop the bleeding. Never leave the cut open. To ensure that the wound does not become serious, apply antiseptic on it and avoid applying things like perfume, lotion and cream, otherwise irritation may occur. If the situation seems to be getting worse then go to the doctor immediately.
