How long would you have to let this go before it got to this point. This is truly an amazing level of neglect. The leg looks like it would fall off if you bumped into by accident.

Girl presented in Venezuela with total necrosis of her left leg following a spider bite. The girl had been treated with natural remedies for the past month, before being taken to a clinic. The damage was not just limited to her left leg, as she has developed rhabdomyolysis in the rest of her body.

Rhabdomyolysis is the breakdown of muscle tissue that leads to the release of muscle fiber contents into the blood. These substances are harmful to the kidney and often cause kidney damage.

An amputation will be carried out immediately, but her survival remains uncertain.

I'm amazed he wasn't killed by gangrene.

13-year-old presenting with necrosis of the lower leg following a envenomation from a snake bite.

Seriously????? He's already half mummified!

This is fairly unusual. The kid should be dead. Maybe either the snake bite venom or the anti-venom did something to the leg and kept the necrosis from spreading? It's odd to see such a clean line of live healthy tissue right next to mummified tissue.

is that an ace bandage type thing around the mummified part?
