Wrestler, 23, nearly loses leg to flesh-eating bacteria infection

A college wrestler nearly lost his leg after a bruise on his left shin turned out to be a flesh-eating bacterial infection.

Peyton Robb, 23, tried to shrug off 'feeling crummy' at a wrestling competition in March as a stomach bug and to 'be tough' like a wrestler.

But he collapsed, vomited and was left shaking after a match, which caused his concerned parents to take him to hospital.
