Salesman survives flesh-eating bug

A car salesman is recovering after being struck down by a rare flesh-eating bug.

Gavin Elliott, 34, of Ipswich, Suffolk, needed three operations to remove tissue infected by necrotising fasciitis and graft skin on to damaged areas.

Mr Elliott spent a month in hospital after the problem was diagnosed in June and work colleagues said he was recovering at home.
