⚠️ Sepsis can be life-threatening — and it’s more common than you might think.
🥺 In the UK, around 245,000 people are affected by sepsis every year, and sadly 48,000 people lose their lives because of it.
👉 Sepsis is a reaction to an infection where the body’s immune system starts attacking its own tissues and organs. It can develop quickly and is hard to spot — especially in babies and young children.
✅ That’s why knowing the symptoms matters. Acting fast could save a life.
