“WHEN Beth Bugden 46, fell ill over Christmas, she assumed it was a harmless winter cold.

But she was soon left vomiting blue liquid before being rushed to hospital, where tests revealed she was suffering from flu, pneumonia, Strep A & sepsis….

Two months later, she had her thumb and most of her fingers removed on her right hand, as well as all of the fingertips on her left.”
