Marsha Barnes Beal wrote in a Facebook post on Sunday that her mother, Bonita Fetterman, was hospitalized while vacationing in Myrtle Beach.
"She came in contact with a life-threatening flesh-eating bacteria after putting her feet in the water at Myrtle Beach," Beal wrote in the post. "Surgery is the only option until it is completely cut away from her leg, with the hopes of it not spreading."
