Re: Chinese Man's Mouth Disfigured By Wolf Attack
[QUOTE=gatagato;3655853]A wolf licking him in the face wouldn't cause that; NOMA would: NOMA (cancrum oris or gangrenous stomatitis), is a gangrenous disease leading to tissue destruction of the face, especially the mouth and cheek. ![]() ![]() Malnutrition, dehydration, poor oral hygiene, poor sanitation, unsafe drinking water, proximity to unkempt livestock, immunodeficiency disorders, (including AIDS) are some of the predisposing factors. It's most common in sub-Saharan Africa (where it's devastating), but can affect people from anywhere. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16421362 http://butterflyist.com/fionaoakes There's also a thread by chris about NOMA http://www.documentingreality.com/fo...gurement-9492/[/QUOTE The real story is the wolf ATE his lips when he was letting the cows out to graze. It also had rabies and he was lucky to survive |
