Four-year-old girl contracts life-threatening infection after trying on new shoes without socks

Doctors believe that the child contracted the infection from the bacteria in the shoes which entered her body via an open wound like a cut or a bite
UPDATED SEP 4, 2018

A four-year-old child in the UK contracted a deadly infection and developed sepsis just a day after she tried on shoes while not wearing any socks. Sienna Rasul got very ill after she tried on different sized shoes on her bare feet. 

According to the Sun, doctors believe that the child contracted the infection from the bacteria in the shoes which entered her body via an open wound like a cut or a bite. Sienna reportedly spent around five days in the hospital and was on a drip. Her mother Jodie Thomas was by her side the entire time and shared, "I was really shocked when the doctors said it was from trying on new shoes. I’ve been worried sick, they’ve had to drain all the poison from her leg."
