Shereen-Fay Griffin, whilst a flesh-eating parasite was in her eye. See SWNS story SWSMparasite. A woman was left blind in one eye after contracting a flesh-eating parasite from mains water. Shereen-Fay Griffin, 38, lost sight in her right eye just under a year ago after contracting a parasitic eye infection.
