Australian teen recovering from thousands of ’sea lice’ bites

VAll Sam Kanizay did was cool his feet off in the water at Dendy Beach in Melbourne, Australia. By the time he’d hobbled home it was a bloodbath. Read the story: “By the time I had walked across the sand, about 20m, to put my thongs on, I looked down and noticed that I had blood all over my ankles,“ said the 16-year-old. Thousands of tiny bites were found all over Sam’s feet, baffling doctors and nurses at first. But the problem has now been traced to thousands of tiny flesh-eating parasites, normally attracted to decaying meat. VIDEO: REUTERS
