Tina Turner, Heidi Klum and Rihanna have all taken insurance policies out on their legs, so something like this would have meant a major payday for them.
Unfortunately for this poor girl, even a leg amputation at this point might not mean she’s in the clear.
According to UPI, a 13-year-old Venezuelan girl’s family didn’t immediately seek treatment after she was bitten by a snake last month, and now her leg is probably the grossest thing we’ve ever seen:
The girl is a member of an indigenous tribe, and her family didn’t make the trip to Caracas for medical attention until one month had passed because they first tried to treat the bite with their own remedies.
One doctor said the snake’s venom caused severe necrosis, causing the “tissue in her leg to die, leaving it withered and rotten.” He also said the necrosis has led to rhabdomyolysis, which means her muscle tissue “will begin to die throughout the body.”
