Penis News of the Day: Beware the Flesh-Eating Bacteria

You gotta feel sorry for this dude who, after his illness was misdiagnosed by a doctor, lost his penis to flesh-eating bacteria.

A Mason County man who lost his penis and a testicle after he contracted a flesh-eating bacteria while in prison has won a $300,000 settlement from the state Department of Corrections.

Charlie Manning, 61, said Monday that he agreed to the settlement with the Department of Corrections (DOC) last month because he wanted the ordeal to be over. After paying his bills and attorney’s fees, Manning said, he will be left with about $115,000 and plans to hunker down in his Lake Cushman motor home and live out the rest of his life. More here.

The dude won U$300,000 but I’m pretty sure he’d rather have his penis back.

By the way, I thought flesh-eating bacteria are just creations of science fiction writers but that tells you how ignorant I am to things scientific.
