Drunk Woman Falls Asleep In Farm Yard And Wakes Up To Horrifying Discovery

In a sad event, a homeless woman named Marina had to have both her legs removed because of a terrible injury.

This happened in the Stavropol Krai region of Russia. 

The rats bit her legs, causing serious wounds that got badly infected.

A person walking by found Marina in very bad shape and called for help right away.

The authorities quickly took her to the nearest hospital.

Unfortunately, by the time the doctors could treat her, the injuries to her legs had become very serious.

Her legs were infected with gangrene, which is a fast-spreading and dangerous infection.

The doctors had no choice but to remove both her legs to save her life.

Marina, who is 60 years old, explained: "I got drunk, and the rats ate me."

Marina is getting better at a shelter for homeless people in the city.

However, city officials want to shut down the shelter.

They think it could catch on fire easily.

Olga Shiryaeva is in charge of the Helping Hand shelter.

She said Marina does not have any ID papers. 

Marina has nowhere else to go and live.

Olga said Marina is making new friends at the shelter, and this is helping her feel a bit better every day.

However, Marina's family doesn’t want to talk to her right now. 

They are not visiting or keeping in touch with her.

She added: "She owns nothing at all, and has nowhere to go. 

"In addition, she has to be carried anywhere and needs to wear diapers that need to be changed.

"We contacted her brother, but he said he had not spoken to her for years and asked us not to call him again. He told us, 'she made her choices.'

"Right now, if I say, 'Marina, are you going to drink?' she'll say, 'Yes. Pour me some.' And she still manages to smoke," said Olga.

The NHS website says gangrene is a serious condition where a loss of blood supply causes body tissue to die.

This is a very dangerous issue that can cause severe damage, like what happened to Marina.

There are about 11,000 homeless people in Russia, based on the latest numbers. 

Alcoholism is also a growing concern.

In 2023, a newspaper called The Moscow Times reported that people in Russia bought a huge amount of strong alcoholic drinks like vodka and whiskey.

They bought 2.3 billion liters of these drinks. That's even more than the 2.2 billion liters they bought in 2022. 

To give you an idea of how much that is, 2.3 billion liters could fill over 900 Olympic-sized swimming pools!
