Hide AdDoctors believe it was caused by an organism from the sea in Cuba entering a bite he had scratched, causing the serious infection.
Garry, who is now on the mend, said: “My leg looked a right mess and it was incredibly painful.
“If I had seen it on someone else’s leg, I would have been astounded.
“I always get bitten when I go on holiday.
“But you never expect an innocent bite to turn into something like that or be told you could have lost your leg.”
