Remember the football star Sam Ballard, a high school team in Australia who died of rodent? At the age of 19, he bet with a friend at the party and bravely swallowed a slugs that climbed through the window. Although he won the bet, his life was lost. He was infected with pneumonia and caused bacterial meningitis. He was in bed and was tortured for eight years. He finally left this infinite world in November last year.
Australian man who seemed to have a special liking to bet to eat small animals, and it's not, six months ago, died from ballard just a month, and another 35 year old man named David Doyle, and his friend bet on a party, bravely swallowed a gecko, unfortunately, two days later, he was sent to the Brisbane matt hospital, less than two weeks, he passed away in a coma, and even had no time to say goodbye and three lovely daughters. What's more, it seems that he couldn't get timely treatment at the hospital. His distraught wife is seeking help from the media.
Doyle was taken to the hospital on December 3. His family called an ambulance when he began vomiting, but paramedics were hesitant to take him to hospital, thinking he might have a stomach upset or a severe hangover. But Doyle's family saw that he was vomiting heavily and insisted on being admitted to hospital. Three days later, Doyle was found to be infected with salmonella, initially suspected by his wife of involvement in the chicken, but later remembered his bet, though not sure he swallowed the gecko. But a friend insisted he was sure he'd seen Doyle eat the gecko. Doyle's condition deteriorated rapidly. His stomach was swollen like six months pregnant, and his lungs began to fill with fluid.
Doyle died during surgery on Dec. 11. His family says he was basically rotten from the inside out. They say the hospital did not take Doyle's condition seriously and only took it seriously after he was admitted to the intensive care unit, but it was too late. Mr. Doyle's sister, Hannah, said they had asked the doctor why he had not been given a catheter and that he had not thought of it. Matt's said in a statement that it was "deeply saddened" by Doyle's death and that his case had been referred to the coroner, who concluded that the hospital had provided adequate care and that no further action was necessary.
Salmonella is a gram-negative type of enterobacterium that has been found in more than 1,800 different species. Most of the bacteria infect domestic animals, mice and birds. Salmonella infections usually cause nausea and spasmodic abdominal pain, followed by watery diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Symptoms usually subside within one to four days, but some can last longer. Because stomach acid kills salmonella, it usually takes large amounts of the bacteria to become infected, and children under the age of one and the elderly are more likely to become infected because of a lack of stomach acid. Some reptiles, such as snakes, frogs and geckos, have high levels of salmonella in their intestines, and doctors advise children under five and the elderly to avoid touching them, kissing them or leaving them in the kitchen where food is available.
Mr Doyle, but some suspect may not be infected with salmonella, because his symptoms more extreme, a special study of gecko, experts say Doyle is likely to be victims of mf crack head tapeworm, this kind of tapeworm can parasite in animals such as frogs and gecko, infect humans will enter the brain cause serious after meningitis. In other words, Doyle may have suffered the same fate as slug-eating ballard.
Life belongs to people only once, a bet should be enough, fearless courage does not bring honor, life is short, please cherish!
