Beatrice Ikamba Runji, a house help, felt tired and decided to rest her then 51-year-old body in 2015.
As she removed socks to take a nap on the couch in Kanganangu village, Mbeere sub-County, she felt her right foot caked in blood- she had a prick, the foot was badly hurt and oozing blood.
“I did not know my foot was hurting because I had lost sensation. I soaked it in water, but the bleeding did not stop,” recalled Runji.
