Mum gets incredibly rare flesh-eating bug while giving birth

Maggie Ashe developed an incredibly rare and deadly flesh-eating bug during the birth of two of her children – and has been left with crater-like depressions all over her body.

The 33-year-old mum-of-three from Blackpool says the bug, necrotising fasciitis, ate away at the fat and muscle in her stomach and hip.

Maggie says she feels too scared to have plastic surgery to improve the look of the scars (PA)
