Natasha Porter, a 23-year-old woman from Sussex in England was paralyzed after being bitten by a mosquito in Australia.Porter was confined to a wheelchair for four months after the mosquito
bite, The Sun reported. The woman was unable to lift her arms days after
being bitten by the mosquito and was paralyzed from neck down days
later. Initially, it was thought that she had suffered an
allergic reaction, but doctors later diagnosed her as suffering from
Guillain-Barré syndrome, which leads to the body's immune system
attacking itself. "I was so scared," Porters said. "I remember
feeling guilty, because I knew I was going to have to call my parents. I
was thinking, 'How do I call them up and say I might be dead in a few
hours?'" Her recovery was gradual and she has now regained full
feeling. Porter plans to continue traveling the world and wants to
enjoy as much as possible.
