When a Tick leaves Mum Armless and Legs Amputated After Being Bitten On Holiday


 A woman says she lost all four of her limbs because of a tick bite, ABC affiliate KOCO-TV reports.


 Rogers' body then went into shock.Fighting for life: Jo Rogers was bitten by a tick on holiday

 Jo Rogers' family says she visited Grand Lake in northeast Oklahoma in July. While there, she was bitten by a tick.

Four days later, Roger thought she had the flu. A day after that, she realized it was something much worse.

"She was shaking her hands because they hurt, her feet hurt," said Rogers' cousin, Lisa Morgan. "They tested her for West Nile Virus and for meningitis."

"By Saturday morning her hands and feet were turning dark blue and black," Morgan toldKOCO-TV.

Doctors then discovered Rogers had contracted Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. The disease is treatable with antibiotics, but that treatment has to start within the first five days of infection.

Instead, the disease quickly spread. Doctors had no choice but to amputate her limbs to prevent the infection from getting to her vital organs.

Rogers, who is a 40-year-old mother of two teens, is now trying to stay positive.

"You're still with us, you're going to get to watch your boys grow up and you've got a lot people pulling for you," Morgan told Rogers after her surgery.

Burning Man Erection Contests Where A mans Erectile resilience (Stiffy) is Tested.

Image
"The first boner to rise gets the prize," says Brad McCray at the start of the event. McCray is a beast of a man who leads the Burning Man theme camp Slut Garden with his wife of 10 years, Tammy. In front of him, five men stand exposed from the waist down with their scantily clad female partners dancing around them, encircled by a cheering, dust-covered crowd of hundreds. Every man is trying to produce an erection as fast as he can without touching himself. Their partners can encourage the sexletes but not by using their hands. This is the Speed Boner challenge, the finale to McCray's fourth annual Slut Olympics. Other events include Deep Throat (a pretty self-explanatory contest that involves a 13-inch dildo), Guess-A-Willy (a blindfolded woman has to identify her partner's penis out of a lineup of naked men), and a Best Balls beauty contest. Speed Boner is still the biggest draw. For seven days, a patch of the Black Rock Desert in Nevada becomes t...

Revealed! Yvonne Nelson Speaks on lesbian Rumours.

’I like Jim Iyke because he is a hot guy’ By Ekerete Udoh My interview with top Ghanaian actress – Yvonne Nelson-was a revelation in so many ways. Of the leading Nollywood stars, Yvonne is among those I had not had a close relationship with. I had watched her from afar, seen countless number of her movies and had always thought she was a great and talented actress – someone who combined poise, beauty and style. I had also heard of some unsavory things ascribed to her – the rumors of sexual orientation which some say verged between pure lesbianism and bi-sexualism – all manner of shenanigans that had been whispered and published about her. Some years ago, she came out with a movie, “Heart of Men”, in which she seemed to have appeared in frontal nudity– a development that set off a firestorm of protest among Nollywood lovers –with many condemning the exploitation of graphic sexual images to promote and sell movies – which was a deviation of what Nollywood had alway...

The movement: states as its mission 'As long as men are allowed to be topless in public, women should have the same constitutional right.

The following cities are officially topless "tested...
