Earlier this week, reports of a woman who developed a life-threatening bacterial infection and had to have all of her limbs amputated circulated online, driven in part by a GoFundMe page.
Laura Bajaras, a 40-year-old mother to a six-year-old boy, reportedly fell ill after buying and eating fish from a market in San Jose, California. Per her GoFundMe page, she cooked and ate tilapia fish she bought at the market and subsequently developed a Vibrio vulnificus infection and had to have all of her limbs amputated.
