Man, 71, dies after being nipped by crab

A 71-year-old man has died in hospital after succumbing to a flesh-eating bacteria from a crab that nicked him two months ago.....

....A similar incident had happened in 2007, when Mr Tan Boon Hock, 83, was nicked on his finger by a crab on Feb 22 while preparing live crabs for his family's dinner.

He died two days later from the infection caused by the flesh-eating Vibrio bacteria.
