Bowling Ball Scare: Woman's Near-Death Sepsis Experience

A UK mother, Nakita Harden, almost died of sepsis after cutting her thumb on the inside of a bowling ball. Initially dismissing the injury, she later experienced unbearable pain and noticed a tracking line on her arm. Harden went to the hospital where doctors operated on her thumb to remove the infection. Her condition worsened overnight, but she eventually recovered. Harden now urges others to be aware of sepsis symptoms, including high heart rate, weak pulse, fever, confusion, and clammy skin, and to seek immediate medical attention if necessary.
