Sepsis is a life-threatening medical condition triggered by the body's extreme response to an infection.
It affects 45 to 50 million individuals every year, and one in five of those affected will not survive.
Dr. Alison Fox-Robichaud is a professor of medicine at McMaster University as well as a critical care physician and the scientific director of Sepsis Canada.
Fox-Robichaud says while people with a weakened immune system are most susceptible, sepsis can affect anyone. She advises that an important part of preventing sepsis is just being aware that if you have an infection and are feeling incredibly unwell, you should quickly seek medical attention.
