 A elderly woman who developed a flesh-eating bacteria from a donkey bite has reached a settlement with the farm where she was bitten. 
 
 Anna Maria Giacomi was feeding a donkey on a commercial farm in north Georgia in November 2015 when it bit her and dragged her into its pen. She said she had known and fed the donkey for five years. 
 
 "The donkey grabbed my wrist and started biting, chewing, crunching going up my arm," she said.

 Her attorney, Darren Tobin, said the hospital did not realize she contracted the bacteria until it was almost too late. He plans to sue for medical malpractice. 
 
 Attorneys reached an undisclosed settlement with the farm last week. They cannot identify the farm because of a confidentiality agreement. 
 
 Giacomi has since moved to Miami with her son. 
 
 "This is the worst things that can happen, really, this situation of mine. And if it happened to me, it can happen to anybody," she said.

 Anna Maria Giacomi recently settled a lawsuit against an unnamed Georgia commercial farm where she had been feeding the donkey, the Atlanta-Journal Constitution reports. 
 
 Speaking to Channel 2 Action News, Giacomi said the donkey “grabbed my wrist and started biting, chewing and crunching going up my arm.” 
 
 She was taken to the hospital where she developed flesh-eating bacteria and had 11 surgeries in two months. Doctors amputated her leg and arm. 
 
 “I woke up with no arm and no leg,” she said. “It was hideous.” 
 
 Giacomi’s lawyer told the news station the hospital didn’t realize she contracted flesh-eating bacteria until it was too late and says he plans to sue for medical malpractice. 
 
 Giacomi moved to Miami, Florida to live with her son. 
 
 “This is the worst things that can happen, really, this situation of mine,” she said. 
 
 “I was a productive, independent woman taking care of myself and my animals, and then… reduced to what I am now.”
– Feeding donkeys is more hazardous than it might seem, according to a former Georgia resident's lawsuit. Anna Maria Giacomi sued a commercial farm in the state after she was attacked by the animal while feeding it two years ago and ended up losing an arm and a leg, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. "The donkey grabbed my wrist and started biting, chewing, crunching going up my arm," Giacomi tells Channel 2. She was hospitalized and ended up contracting the flesh-eating bacteria necrotizing fasciitis, which led to the double-amputation. "I woke up with no arm and no leg. It was hideous," she says. Giacomi—who says she knew the donkey and had been feeding it for more than five years—underwent 11 surgeries in under two months. She settled the lawsuit with the unnamed farm for an undisclosed amount. Her lawyer says she also plans to sue the hospital for medical malpractice, alleging doctors belatedly realized she had contracted the bacteria. Giacomi says before the attack, she was a "productive, independent woman taking care of myself and my animals," but she has since had to move to Florida to live with her son, People reports. Her lawyer says he doesn't know what happened to the donkey, but it is no longer at the farm. (This woman is suing over a fall from a fake donkey.)
