英文早点丨0807 - 美国一男士被舔断了两条腿，小心得“狗”病！

很多人都认为宠物狗是他们自己家庭的一员，拥有一只狗可以是一种有趣、充实的体验。据报道， Greg Manteufel几周前开始出现流感样症状。几个小时后，Manteufel被送往急诊室，出现奇怪的瘀伤和极低的血压。他被发现感染了“犬咬二氧化碳嗜纤维菌”(Capnocytophaga Canimorsus)，这在狗唾液中很常见，并且感染最终导致了他患上败血症。现在，在失去双腿和双手以及鼻子的部分之后，Manteufel面临着恢复和康复的漫长道路。

Hope the only prescription is suffering.

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.

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.
