One Texas woman has been fighting for her life for roughly a month in the intensive care unit.  Apparently, a bite to the fingers has infected her with the usually harmless 

capnocytophaga canimorsus bacteria that is found in an estimated 1/3 of cats and dogs.  

Following the incident, the woman developed nausea and chills, which got worse to the point that she needed to be rushed to the hospital.  Her infection has caused her great pain and suffering, including amputation of her fingers and both legs.  This unusual bacteria infected her body and caused her vital organs to start shutting down.
