Morocco, with her husband last February, she cleaned the small leg wound with just a wet wipe at the time, but by May she started having headaches and anxiety, leading her to Barnsley.

Doctors took time to pinpoint the cause, first thinking it might be mental health related before referring her to specialists in Sheffield, but she passed away on June 11, four months after the scratch.
