KNOXVILLE, Tennessee – A Tennessee woman has reported developing a flesh-eating bacteria in a nail salon.

Jayne Sharp told WATE that she had gone to the Jazzy Nail Bar in February and that a technician had stung her thumb.

Two hours after leaving the store, Sharpe says that her thumb started beating, and that she developed flu-like symptoms.

She had it checked and the official diagnosis was a flesh-eating bacteria.

Her nurse practitioner made sure to keep in touch, which Sharp thinks saved her life.

"I went home with a dose of pain medication so I slept, so I was very grateful to him for waking up to see how I felt – or would have slept. all night and the doctors said if I did not do it "I did not get to the ER when I did it – that I would not be there," Sharp explained.

After several surgeries, Sharp now misses a piece of his thumb.
