A dad-of-two lost his leg and was left fighting for his life after catching a deadly infection ‘from an ingrown hair’. Mark Nagel, 53, gained 45lbs in one leg and went temporarily blind within two weeks of contracting lethal necrotizing fasciitis in his left thigh. The bacteria is believed to have entered his system through an ingrown hair and multiplied in an ‘empty space’ created when he slipped and pulled a muscle. It left Mark, from Saint Paul, Minnesota, US, suffering from a dull aching pain which intensified as the virus ate through his flesh.
