A British dad is facing amputation after half of his leg was devoured by a flesh-eating bug when he was bitten by a scorpion while holidaying in Thailand.
Alan Stephenson, 73, is anxiously waiting for news of whether medics will amputate the remains of his infected limb.
The man from Hull, East Yorkshire, suffered a freak reaction to the bite which developed into the gruesome disease that has stripped his skin and flesh has from his leg from toe to knee.
