Julia’s morning unfolded with her usual enthusiasm as she stirred from sleep. The anticipation of the day ahead filled her with energy. With her friend’s wedding on the agenda, she was eager to make every moment count. Her dedication to skincare was evident as she embarked on her morning routine. Cleansers, serums, moisturizers—each product was meticulously chosen to enhance her natural radiance. With each gentle application, Julia felt herself preparing not only her skin but also her spirit for the festivities ahead.
Despite her excitement, Julia couldn’t shake off a nagging feeling that something wasn’t quite right. It wasn’t until she caught sight of herself in the mirror while applying her products that she noticed it—something strange on her cheek. Her heart skipped a beat as she examined her reflection more closely. Tiny spots marred her otherwise smooth skin, and they seemed to be digging into her flesh. Panic began to rise within her as she tried to comprehend what was happening. Had she reacted badly to one of the new skincare products she had been using?
Julia’s cheek was covered in tiny spots. She thought that maybe something had stuck to her cheek, but bringing it closer to her, she saw that the spots were digging into her skin. She pressed on it with her fingers, which hurt a bit more. Something was very clearly wrong, but what was it? Julia thought a bit. Maybe some insect had bitten her or even crawled into her. Maybe it had latched onto her thumb in the night. But she’d never seen a bug do anything like this. Julia searched online and concluded that no bug had done this; it had to be something worse.
The more Julia looked at her cheek, the more confused she became. These weren’t just tiny spots. There was something inside the spots; she couldn’t make it out, but she was sure something else was there. The spots were hard, and whatever inside was too. She needed to do something. So she decided that she would try and dig out whatever was in her cheek with tweezers.
She went to the bathroom and pulled out her tweezers, but she hesitated. Before she could dig into her cheek, she didn’t really have any idea what she was dealing with. Doing this could make it even worse. But she still had to do something. Julia didn’t like doctors; she preferred to take care of things by herself. She rarely would go unless something was severely wrong. And as much as she hated going to the doctor, she knew that this wasn’t something she should take care of by herself. So she took the leap and called the doctor.
The doctor’s office set up a semi-emergency appointment for that same afternoon. They told her there would be others ahead of her, but they would definitely see her by the end of the day at the latest. In the meantime, Julia agreed to think about it and hung up the phone. Julia thought back over the last week. She hadn’t really done anything too out of the ordinary. She went on a hike through the forest a couple of days ago. She easily could have touched something out there before, maybe a mushroom or a contaminated piece of moss. That could definitely be an option, possibly.
As Julia continued thinking, the hike didn’t make that much sense. Indeed, other people had gone hiking on that same trail; it was a popular route. She wouldn’t be the first person to be experiencing this. There’d have to be other signs. She decided to rule it out as an answer, but there had to be something else. It was difficult to think of anything that was out of routine. Julia was an average girl; she didn’t do much except hike occasionally and go to the local ladies’ coffee shop to meet her friends. She worked from home and didn’t venture outside much; she simply preferred a quieter lifestyle.
There was something else that was out of the ordinary. Julia had come across some unique skincare products at a local market, where an elderly eccentric woman approached her and tried to sell her items crafted from herbs and mysterious ingredients. Tucked inside her bag, the old lady assured her that these products were a miracle for the skin. So out of curiosity, Julia decided to give them a try. Julia had just been a bit desperate and wasn’t thinking clearly. Could it have something to do with all of this?
But she got to the doctor’s office and sat in her car for a moment, trying to find more answers. But Julia really couldn’t think of anything else. With a deep breath to calm her nerves, she entered the doctor’s office and signed in. She figured she’d have to wait long to see the doctor, but fate had different plans.
While in the waiting room at the doctor’s office, Julia was getting a ridiculous amount of attention. At this point, the holes in her cheek were very plain, and everyone around her was shocked by what they saw. Julia didn’t notice much until the rest of the people’s curiosity became increasingly obvious. The other people in the office didn’t try to hide their curiosity; the few kids there wanted to look, but their parents held them back. Still, it seemed as if everyone had forgotten about their own medical complaints. Everybody wanted to know what was happening to her. To be fair, Julia was also curious.
Then the doctor came out to call in the next patient. Everyone there collectively agreed that Julia should be seen first. None of their problems were severe, but Julia’s clearly was. Julia was a bit taken aback by this but thanked them nonetheless. It was concerning, but surely she could wait. However, the doctor disagreed.
Once inside his office, the doctor could take a proper look at Julia’s cheek, and he was shocked. He had never seen anything like this before. He would remember if he had; something like this wasn’t something you just forget. What’s more, the doctor hadn’t even heard of anything like this in his medical books. He was totally clueless. The doctor knew that this was going to take some time. He made a few calls to have his waiting patients sent to other doctors on call. Julia needed his attention the most, and he was determined to find a cure for whatever was going on here.
The doctor ordered tests for Julia, and while they waited for the results, he studied Julia’s cheek intensely. The strange thing was that while Julia had felt some pain earlier, she didn’t feel it anymore. Her whole cheek was completely numb. It didn’t even hurt when the doctor pushed on it. This was a concerning sign as it seems the doctor continued investigating Julia’s cheek.
And when he got the first results back, he was disappointed. The tests he’d ordered hadn’t found anything yet. He could have ordered some additional tests, but he needed Julia’s permission. However, it would take up a lot of Julia’s time. What would she do?
Julia agreed to the tests. While waiting for those results, the doctor, who still hadn’t found anything helpful, posted pictures of Julia’s cheek on a medical forum. He was hoping that some other doctor had seen something like this before. It would be a while before they got any response.
Julia decided that she needed some air and went to use the bathroom. While she was gone, the doctor received a private message from the forum. He opened it eagerly, hoping it was the answer he had sought. To his luck, it was, but it was also terrible news, and everything would have to change fast. Another doctor had seen this condition before, and if they didn’t act quickly, it could become a massive problem for everyone, including Julia. The doctor read the message repeatedly and knew that if this other doctor was right, he needed to take quick action.
Julia’s doctor waited for the results, which came in almost immediately after he had read the message from the forum. This was it; he had the results, and it chilled him to the bone. Leaving his office, he soon had the whole place upside down. Julia returned from the bathroom, her cheek not looking good. The spots were starting to spread to the rest of her hand. Terrified, she knew she had to show the doctor. However, there was just one problem: the doctor wasn’t in his office when Julia got back. So what was she to do?
Julia was just deciding what to do when she heard something happen behind her. The door she had just come through had been locked from the outside. She had been trapped in here, and to make things even worse, she could hear the doctor telling others that he had called the police. What was happening? Julia begged for an explanation through the door, but no one answered her. All the nurses and doctors were frantically talking to each other, and nobody responded to her questions. She was told that she needed to stay calm until the police arrived, but this wasn’t good enough for Julia.
Nervous and scared, the staff’s reaction to her cheek was really starting to worry her. What was so wrong? Why had they called the police? Julia couldn’t understand the sudden need for police involvement. Adding to her confusion and anxiety, a million thoughts were running through her head. She tried to stay calm, but that was becoming impossible.
Julia did not want to die. Soon enough, those fears were turned into anger. Why was nobody talking to her? With no other idea, Julia began to kick at the door. She was desperate to get out; the doctors on the other side were yelling at her to stop, but Julia couldn’t hear them over her own banging. She was determined to get out. After a few kicks, the door lock broke, and the door swung wide open. The people on the other side started screaming, and Julia’s doctor stood back.
Julia stood there, panting hard. It hadn’t been easy to kick the door open, but she needed answers, and someone had to tell her what was happening. Julia’s doctor ordered everyone else to get away and told Julia to stay back. She shouldn’t get close to anyone right now. The fear on her doctor’s face told Julia everything she needed to know about her fate, but Julia was determined.
What made things worse was the sense of urgency in the doctor’s commands and the fear etched on their faces. It was clear that Julia’s condition was serious, and she needed answers fast. She told them that she wouldn’t stay back unless they gave her answers. Before her doctor could speak, three armed officers came into the building and spotted Julia. The doctor pointed at Julia and started screaming, “It’s her!” All three officers took out their pistols and aimed them carefully at Julia, who was feeling faint now. What the heck was going on?
Julia quickly threw her hands into the air as the police turned their attention to her. She almost had tears in her eyes, begging them to just tell her what was happening. Seeing that the spots on Julia’s cheek had taken up almost half of her face, the police told her to stay back. One of the officers calmly explained to Julia that they would tell her everything, but she needed to be isolated immediately. Julia agreed to the terms but firmly told them that she wouldn’t hesitate to break open another door to get answers. She was terrified, and no one was telling her anything. Julia returned to the doctor’s office, and the door was closed behind her. She could see the staff coming in with heavy cleaning materials, and they started cleaning everything—the floors, the walls, the door, you name it. Finally, the doctor came to the door to tell Julia what was happening.
The doctor first apologized for not telling Julia what was happening. He’d been scared; it wasn’t every day that a person with an awful flesh-eating virus came in, and he had to follow procedures that he’d never had to do before. He felt horrible. Then he discussed with Julia what she’d been doing in the days before. Julia had taken a hike and had gone to local public places where she met lots of people. Luckily, Julia didn’t get the infection from anyone because she met no one after hiking; therefore, she didn’t pass the virus to anyone else. Instead, it was more likely that she’d touched some infected plant while out on her hike. But which one?
Julia wasn’t sure what to tell them when asked about where she went hiking. She informed the police and her doctor about the route she’d taken and what she’d seen that might be helpful. She didn’t know what else she could do. Her focus shifted to the treatment plan; could they even treat her, or would this virus eat her face off? Fortunately, the hospital had the medication they needed, but she’d have to be in isolation for a while. The police had gotten involved because they needed to talk to Julia about her hike, but when they saw her out of the isolated room, they panicked because her doctor had panicked. It was a big mess, as they also had to ensure that no one else would get infected.
Julia was safely transported to a better hospital where she could be in isolation and receive treatment for the virus, which was eating away at one side of her face. Fortunately, the medication paused the virus from spreading, and within a few days, it started reversing the problem. But what about the plant? After some heavy searching, officers from the police department, prospected with the assistance of some botanists, kept everyone off the trail and found a plant that wasn’t native to the area. It was tested and found to be the cause of Julia’s problem. The plant was uprooted and disposed of. There haven’t been any cases since.
Her family rejoiced at her safety, understanding that her well-being was paramount. Even though Julia, a beauty enthusiast, was struggling with how her appearance had changed, the doctors not only treated her medically but also provided psychological support during her recovery process. Through this experience, Julia realized how one’s life can change in any moment and how mental and physical health are so important. She was getting better within a short period and was ready to go back to her normal life again within a month.
