Sometimes it sucks to be right.
Marine killed by scratch and superbug
By Simon de Bruxelles

A SUPERFIT Royal Marine collapsed and died within days of scratching his leg on a bush while on a training run — victim of a mutated superbug one doctor described as the worst she had ever seen.
Dr Morgan said that victims of the superbug were unable to resist it, no matter how fit they were.
“It is the worst bug I have ever seen and people really need to know about it. It is untreatable. It multiplies very quickly. One bug will multiply into 17 million within 24 hours. Usually signs include pneumonia, coughing up blood and very high temperatures, but not everyone will look for it
