Warning after woman gets near-fatal infection from bikini wax

A 20-YEAR-OLD woman nearly died following a botched “Brazilian” bikini wax, a leading medical journal has reported.

The Australian woman caught an infection in the two weeks after the procedure and, such was the extent of the damage, doctors thought she had a flesh-eating disease.

She was rushed to A&E with high fever, genital swelling and a rash extending to her chest, arms and neck.
