    Teacher’s body shuts down after catching deadly superbug and sepsis while in hospital

    A 4-year-old UK girl was left fighting for her life after developing deadly sepsis from trying on new shoes.

    Sienna Rasul became seriously ill the day after trying on shoes in her bare feet.

    Little Sienna was later diagnosed with sepsis, which doctors believe she may have picked up from bacteria in the shoes.

    The deadly condition can be passed on if bacteria enter the body through an open wound.

    Doctors think it’s likely Sienna had a cut, graze or bite on her foot that allowed the bacteria to enter her body.

    Sienna spent five days on a drip in the hospital with her mom, Jodie Thomas, 26, by her side.

    Hotel worker Thomas said: “I was really shocked when the doctors said it was from trying on new shoes.

    “I’ve been worried sick, they’ve had to drain all the poison from her leg.

    “Normally she would have socks on but it’s summertime so she was wearing sandals.

    “The shoes she liked had been tried on by other little girls and that’s how Sienna picked up the infection.”

    Mom of three Thomas took Sienna to the doctor when she started crying in agony the day after the shopping trip.

    The doctor spotted the infection and used a pen to draw a line around where it had spread.

    Thomas, of Aberfan, South Wales, said: “By the next day it had spread up her leg and her temperature was raging.

    “I drove her straight into hospital, she was shaking and twitching — it was horrible to see my little girl like that.

    “They said it was sepsis and thought they would have to operate.

    “But the doctors have managed to drain all the pus from her leg and say the antibiotic drip will do the job.”

    Sienna has now been allowed home from the children’s ward at Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr Tydfil, but she is still being monitored.

    Thomas is urging parents to make sure their children have socks on when they try on shoes.

    “I knew you risk getting things like athlete’s foot from trying on shoes but blood poisoning is far more serious,” she said.

    “You don’t know whose feet have been in the shoes before you.

    “Sienna has been really ill, the infection was moving up her leg and spreading to the rest of her body.

    “I’m so glad I got her to the hospital quickly.

    “With mums and dads doing back-to-school shopping, I would advise them to take a spare pair of socks with them.”

    Dr. Ron Daniels, chief executive of the UK Sepsis Trust, said: “This frightening case shows us that sepsis strikes indiscriminately and can affect anyone at any time.”

    Daniels said it was likely Sienna already had a “breach” in her skin, either a graze or a bite.

    “Whenever there are signs of infection, it’s crucial that members of the public seek medical attention urgently and just ask: ‘Could it be sepsis?’” he added.

    “Better awareness could save thousands of lives every year.”
    Another mark of a tyrant is that he likes foreigners better than citizens, and lives with them and invites them to his table; for the one are enemies, but the Others enter into no rivalry with him. - Aristotle's Politics Book 5 Part 11

    I keep Lysol wipes in my bag, to wipe out the inside of shoes before putting them back on at that TSA nastiness.

    The TSA actually takes great care to keep the floor clean, so there is nothing to worry about.

    Your safety is their highest concern.
    It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it.

    It's a shame that thousands of people have to die each year just because they don't wear clean socks when trying on shoes.

    Maybe there is something my congressman can do about it.

    Weird. Not sure if they are promoting being afraid of trying on shoes or being barefoot? Maybe they are promoting not trying on any clothing, thus, ordering everything from online from Amazon without even trying it on. Be afraid of the diseases that other people carry and you need Govt to protect you by forcing you to buy from only Amazon, even if their "brand new" items have been used before?

    How the $#@! do they know that she even got infected from a specific shoe? Was there a concerted effort by the CDC and law enforcement to track down the individual shoe that caused it. Fear mongering. Nothing more.

    It is the reason I avoid Hospitals.. Quack Doctors and infectious Diseases.

    You are more likely to contract sepsis,, and any number of others in the confines of a Hospital,, than from a shoe.

    Well, I've got hundred of these $#@!ers on my feet. Just started on my hands.



    The V.A. just tried burning them out and after the third treatment I said "$#@! this." I don't think it is plantar warts. So, through the V.A. Choice program I got into a local dermatologist. First thing he said was "I don't think this is viral. Before we do anything we are gonna do a biopsy." Which is what I asked the Pakistani, Green Card, V.A. hospital Doc at the beginning. So, there's hope.

    But, no. I always take a fresh pair of socks when trying on shoes. It's what my parents taught me. It makes sense.

    Makes good sense.

    The Army tested something on us, on a trail through the mountains of Hawaii.. They were waiting for us on the other side like they were expecting something.. They had medics..

    We took off our boots and everybody had foot rot... Some very bad (lost toes)

    Once recovered from that,, nothing has attacked my feet..

    WTF? Wow. Sounds like they experimented in creating a problem to determine affect. Not something new. Glad you came out the other side with all digits.

    Can't do much marching if you can't march. Would have thought they would have all the analysis they needed since WWI and trench foot. I wash and change my socks twice a day and still have my affliction. Doc said as he left, "well this is the case of the day." Lol. He's understating it. Because it does not affect him. Guess we'll see when the biopsy comes back.

    And of course, they never tell you how sick you can get in a hospital! So how DID they know it was that one shoe that gave it to her and she didnt get it in the hospital itself, or elsewhere?

    I wonder how bacteria laden those FLOORS are at the Airport Security Checklines are? The one place it probably is highly dangerous to remove your shoes and it is probably more dangerous than anywhere else on the planet to remove your shoes. But but but shoe bombers! All shoes are evil, except Govt Approved Shoes!
