I lost all four of my limbs to a flesh-eating bug - and I'm loving life | MY STORY

This is the inspiring life story of a quadruple amputee father who scaled Ethiopia 's highest mountain after losing his arms and legs to a Strep A infection. Alex Lewis, 43, was a perfectly healthy man when he fell ill in 2013 - putting his symptoms down to 'man flu '. But when the stay-at-home father from Hampshire collapsed he was rushed to hospital and given a three per cent chance of survival having contracted Strep A, followed by Septicaemia.

So it’s transmitted like a cold,but why was it so fatal for him was it because he was an alcoholic and had a weak immune system?

[@thecannaviking]

No,Strep A is flesh eating(give you gangrene) and everyone can get it.

[@J-ZIM]

most likely what happened. Strep is usually not harmful, but his body couldn't get rid of the strep infection
