Bite from cake-snatching iguana leads to rare infection: case
A sweet treat on the beach soon became a sour affair for one young patient, her doctors report.
A young girl has become the victim of an unusual crime and the subject of the first reported case of a Mycobacterium marinum infection from a cake-snatching iguana.
While vacationing with her family in Costa Rica, the three-year-old was eating cake when the reptile suddenly bit her on the left hand before scampering off with the snack, the treating doctors report.
