A New Orleans woman lost her her arm and nearly her life from flesh-eating bacteria after injecting herself with "bath salts," according to a case report published today in the journal Orthopedics.

The woman, 34, entered a Louisiana hospital and complained of pain and redness on her right forearm. The patient later admitted that a puncture wound on the forearm was from a needle.
