Ever let your dog lick you?

Ohio woman with dog lick infection has legs, parts of arms amputated after spending days in coma

An Ohio business owner’s rapid downward spiral to near-death began innocently enough — with an affectionate lick on her arm from one of her two pet dogs.

Marie Trainer’s symptoms emerged shortly after, according to Fox 8.  She felt nausea, her temperature acted erratically, and after being taken to the hospital, her condition kept worsening. Sepsis set in, and she developed gangrene. The hospital staff put Trainer in an induced coma.

She awoke 10 days later to find that her arms and legs had been partially amputated.

But the amputations likely saved her life, Fox 8 reported. 

Tests concluded that the cause of infection was capnocytophaga, a germ commonly found in dogs and cats that can be contagious after close contact. Most of the time exposure to it does not result in the serious consequences that Trainer faced.

Doctors believe that the germ may have entered her body through a small scrape on her arm.

Dr. Margaret Kobe, who is the medical director of infectious disease at the hospital where Trainer was treated, said of capnocytophaga:  “[It is] fairly common in the oral flora or the mouth of a dog and it can be transmitted through a bite or sometimes just contact with saliva. That organism is very virulent.  It has the ability to induce your immune system to do some pretty horrible things.”

Kobe told the news outlet that Trainer’s serious reaction to the dog’s licking is highly rare, occurring in about one in a million people.

Last year, a Wisconsin man lost his hands, feet and parts of his arms and legs to a rare blood infection transmitted by dog saliva. Greg Manteufel has undergone at least 10 surgeries during which surgeons amputated parts of each of his limbs because circulation to his extremities shut down due to the infection. He is now learning to walk again on prosthetics.

"Entered through a small scrape on her arm."

Is that code for "a large gash between her legs"?

[crash_davis 23115]

who knew that a person should not be licked by an animal which repeatedly licks its own penis?

Can a gash be amputated?

All it took was one lick and she was out cold.

But their mouths are cleaner than ours!

Yeah, I'm sure after a nice meal of cat shit and few licks of their own ass, a dog's tongue is as clean as an operating room.

sorry your dog is a moron.  my dog is awesome.

My dogs don't lick people. Trained well. They can lick themselves all they want.

[Deej 76930]

Reminded of the old joke:

Two aggys are walking down the road, when they see a dog licking himself.

First aggy says, "I wish I could do that."

Second aggy replies, "Me, too, but I'm afraid he'll bite."

I thought your did didn’t have capnocytophaga?

That wasn’t my dog. 

[Blotto 23579]

A peanut butter infused with capnocytophaga antidote could be the big break that Skippy has been waiting for to turn the tables on Jif.... as they say, "Fortune favors the bold." Some low level intern needs to seize upon this opportunity and pitch that shit at the next Monday morning marketing session.
