Flesh-Eating Bacteria Attack Kurt Russell’s Face
The Globe claims that Kurt Russell suffers from a malignant flesh-eating disease.
The 65-year-old Hateful eight actor has reportedly been spotted with unattractive sores beneath his lower lip that are thought to be caused by Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS), which has been related to intestinal cancer.
Cancer.Net reports that “the lifetime risk of cancer in those with PJS may be as high as 93 percent.”
The sores are “precancerous lesions that can become aggressive and dangerous if not treated immediately and properly,” said Dr. Stuart Fischer, who does not treat Kurt.
