Thumb lost after the manicure by a Tennessee woman due to Flesh-Eating bacterial disease.

Knoxville, Tennessee: A manicure turned into a life-threatening sentence for a woman in Tennessee. Doesn't it feel shocking to hear? Yes, but the beauty brought nightmares to this woman's life.

What exactly happened to Jayne sharp?

Jayne sharp of Knoxville went to a nail salon in Tennessee for a manicure. She got some small cut in her thumb during the manicure. But she ignored it by thinking just a nick irritation. Right after two hours of manicure, she found her thumb was swelling and throbbing. It may be due to some flu-infection Sharp thought initially.

Sharp's daughter Nikki Brown, who is a registered nurse of Summit Medical group analyzed the swelling with a marker. The nurse practitioner woked up Sharp to diagnose the swell rate and immediately adviced her to go to the hospital.

The doctor diagnosed Sharp with a flesh-eating bacterial disease called Necrotizing fasciitis. Therapists warned that she would have lost her life if she delayed.

Jayne shocked 'Am I Losing life for a manicure?' and filed a complaint against Jazzy Nail Salon in Tennesse. The state declared that nail salon passed the inspections.
