A man has described how his arm was amputated after his arm became
infected with a flesh-eating bug following a bicep injury.

Gabriel McKenna-Lieschke tore his bicep lifting a 50kg weight. After
he had surgery to reattach his muscle, he contracted the rare bacterial
infection necrotising fasciitis and was put into an induced coma for 10
days.

[For the non-metric, a kilogram (kg) is 2.2 pounds-ed]
