GAINESVILLE - A Flowery Branch woman is hospitalized at Northeast Georgia Medical Center, battling a flesh-eating bacteria.<br />
<br />
Tamika Compton's family members have set up an online fundraising site for the 25-year-old. A post to the GoFundMe.com site said Compton has already lost large portions of one of her arms to the disease.<br />
<br />
A hospital spokeswoman said Monday afternoon that Compton is reported to be in fair condition.<br />
<br />
There is no word where Compton might have picked up the bacteria.<br />
<br />
In May 2012, Aimee Copeland of Snellville lost both hands, her right foot and her entire left leg to flesh-eating bacteria. Copeland became infected when she cut her leg on a zip-lining excursion in west Georgia.
