Eye fear for toddler who fell in dog mess
A toddler who fell in dog mess in a playground could lose the sight in one of her eyes, it was reported today.
Amiee Langdon, who will be two next week, put her hand down as she tumbled over, then wiped her left eye.
She was taken to hospital by her mother Suzanne, 29, from Fallowfield, Manchester, where tests confirmed she had picked up the infection toxocariasis, which is spread by dog dirt.
It resulted in optical lobe cellulosis, which can lead to blindness and even death if not treated within 72 hours.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
