A mum who developed sepsis as a result of a suspected insect bite in Africa will die unless she can fund pioneering treatment.
Fern Wormald, 48, claims doctors are concerned a huge mass of fluid in the tissues in her leg will become fatal if it continues to build, Yorkshire Live reports.
The fluid - caused by lymphedema and is causing her legs to balloon - has already led to cellulitis and sepsis, the latter a potentially fatal condition, medics say.
