Deadly Infection Almost Destroys Woman's Face

You need to take infections seriously. I am prone to sinus infections. It got to the point whenever I caught a cold, I was ready to make an appointment for the infection I knew would surely follow. Naturally my body decided to play a dirty trick on me and decided that it would no long attack the same part of my sinuses. It decided to hide behind my eyes.

One morning I was shocked when I felt a pop and then my eyes went out of control widely moving all over to the point when I was sure I had just had a stroke. It was impossible to get up out of bed until it settled down enough. I called the doctor and after tests, he told me it was an infection behind my eyes.

Do not put off going to get medical care if you have an infection. Take this lesson from this woman and what happened to her seriously.

If treated early, a routine sinus infection may cause uncomfortable pressure, nasal congestion and often makes a patient feel generally miserable. For the most part, however, sinus infections don't leave people near-death, unless, of course, you happen to be Sue Carlisle.

It was October 2006, and Carlisle was suffering from the symptoms of a sinus infection. The 49-year-old had experienced similar infections in the past and assumed that the steroids she had been previously prescribed would be enough to get her back on her feet. However, when she went to the doctor, the diagnosis was more dire than she ever imagined. Carlisle's face was infected with mucormycosis, a rare and deadly infection that can affect the sinuses, brain or lungs, reports ABC News.
