A Scots woman was left in an eight-day coma after a deadly flesh-eating bug attacked her boob - caused by a scratch from her bra
. Sylvia Halcrow believes the metal in her underwire bra caused an injury which developed into a dangerous bacterial infection called necrotising fasciitis.
She said: "I came very close to not surviving it at all so I'm very grateful indeed. It's scary to think this was caused by my bra. "I just knew something wasn't right and so I took myself to A&E, I was in so much pain," she said. "When I walked in the nurse looked at me and rushed me straight though.
"They put me into an induced coma, and I had two operations to remove the flesh-eating bug while I was out cold," she said.
