1:47Now PlayingNY Post Features Reporter Taylor Knight shares the harrowing stort of UK mom Nakita Harden who almost died of sepsis after allegedly cutting her thumb on the inside of a bowling ball.
“I didn’t think anything of it at first. You get scratches all the time,” Harden, 33, told Caters News Agency.
Harden was out bowling with her boyfriend, Jordan, when she cut herself after placing her fingers inside the holes of the bowling ball. Later in the evening, she notified her beau that she felt unbearable pain in her thumb.
“‘My thumb doesn’t feel very good,’ and he looked at it,” she said. “He saw little red bits on my arm. It wasn’t obviously a tracking line at that point.”
Her boyfriend mentioned that he read an article that said the tracking line could develop from blood poisoning, but the couple remained unbothered.
“We were just a little bit concerned, but I didn’t feel poorly,” she admitted.
“He said, ‘Well, if it gets worse, you’re gonna have to go to the hospital because it could be sepsis.’ “
The US’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention describes sepsis as “the body’s extreme response to an infection” and a “life-threatening medical emergency.”
