A Florida teenager is fighting for his life in the hospital after being exposed to a flesh-eating bacteria while swimming at a park.

Joziah Thompson, 17, was swimming at a park in Niceville, Florida, when he got what he believed was just a scratch on his leg. However, two days later, the leg was inflamed and painful to touch.
