Woman dies after rats eat her toes

BERINO, N.M., Jan. 4 (UPI) -- An elderly New Mexico woman whose toes were probably eaten by rats while she slept has died of complications from pneumonia, family members said.

Maria Najera, 85, had been hospitalized since Dec. 20 when it was discovered that something in her trailer home had chewed off all her toes, KTSM in El Paso, Texas, reported Tuesday.

Najera's daughter-in-law said the woman was unable to feel her extremities because of complications from diabetes. UPI
