Small laceration leads to the loss of a lower leg
The tide turns quickly for a returned traveller when a seemingly innocuous laceration threatens disability and death after a dip in the ocean in China

Ting is a 52-year-old retired businessman who attends pre-COVID-19, having just returned to Australia after a holiday to Hainan Island in China.
A week previously, he tripped and fell while walking on the beach and sustained a small laceration (less than 1cm) to the left lower leg.
